Torslez-10
Torsemide is a diuretic medication commonly used to treat edema associated with heart failure, kidney disease, or liver disease, and to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). At a dosage of 10 mg, torasemide helps reduce the excess fluid in the body by increasing urine production.
Key Points:
Class: Loop diuretic.
Dosage: 10 mg (but always follow the specific dosage prescribed by a healthcare provider).
Uses: Treatment of edema, heart failure, kidney disease, liver disease, and hypertension.
Mechanism: Works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys, leading to increased urine production.
Common Side Effects:
Increased urination
Dehydration
Electrolyte imbalances (such as low potassium levels)
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Important Considerations:
Monitor kidney function and electrolyte levels regularly.
Stay hydrated, but follow your doctor’s guidance on fluid intake.
Discuss any other medications you’re taking with your doctor to avoid interactions.
Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and to ensure it is appropriate for your specific condition.
