Torsinex Plus Tablet

Introduction

Torsinex Plus Tablet is often prescribed to manage conditions such as edema (fluid retention) associated with congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and kidney disease.

Spironolactone belongs to the class of potassium-sparing diuretics, and works by blocking the action of aldosterone, a hormone that causes the kidneys to retain salt and water, thereby increasing urine output and reducing fluid retention and Torasemide is a loop diuretic that helps the kidneys remove excess salt and water from the body by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride.

It's usually recommended to take it with food to prevent stomach upset. Avoid consuming potassium-rich foods or supplements unless advised by your doctor, as Spironolactone can increase potassium levels in the body.

Patients prescribed it should adhere to their healthcare provider's recommendations regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

It is crucial to report any persistent symptoms or adverse effects promptly.
