Torasemide Tablets IP 10mg Uses
Torasemide is a diuretic (water pill) used to treat fluid retention (edema) caused by conditions like heart failure, kidney disease, or liver disease. It helps reduce swelling and shortness of breath by removing excess fluid from the body. It is also used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) when used alone or with other medicines.
How Torasemide works
Torasemide works by blocking the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys, which increases urine production. This helps flush out extra fluid and salt from the body, lowering blood volume and reducing strain on the heart and blood vessels.
Common side effects of Torasemide
- Increased urination (especially at the start of treatment)
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Headache
- Low blood pressure (hypotension)
- Electrolyte imbalances (e.g., low potassium, sodium)
- Dehydration
- Muscle cramps
