This prescription medication effectively treats edema (fluid retention) associated with heart failure, liver disease, and kidney problems while helping to lower high blood pressure.

Uses

Torsinex-20 helps manage various conditions involving fluid retention and hypertension. It treats edema in congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and kidney disease. The medication also effectively controls high blood pressure, either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive drugs.

How It Works

Torsemide works by inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption in the kidney’s loop of Henle, leading to increased urine production. This helps eliminate excess fluid from the body while lowering blood pressure through reduced blood volume.

Dosage
