Brand: Demadex, Torsemide, Sodiran
Torasemide is a loop diuretic used to treat fluid retention (edema) in people with congestive heart failure, kidney disease, or liver disease. It works by increasing the amount of salt and water that the kidneys remove from the blood, which helps reduce fluid buildup in the body. It belongs to the sulfonylurea class of diuretics, similar to furosemide, but is generally considered more potent on a milligram-to-milligram basis.
For treating fluid retention (edema) associated with congestive heart failure, kidney disease, and liver disease.
