Torsemide 10mg & Spironolactone 50mg Tablets
Product Overview
This combination tablet contains Torsemide and Spironolactone, two diuretics that work in different ways to help remove excess fluid from the body while reducing the risk of losing too much potassium. It is commonly prescribed for heart failure and significant fluid retention.
Key Benefits
- Combines two complementary diuretic actions in one tablet
- Helps reduce swelling and fluid overload
- Spironolactone's potassium-sparing effect helps balance potassium loss from Torsemide
Uses
- Management of fluid retention associated with heart failure
- Management of oedema due to liver or kidney disease, as advised by a doctor
Composition
Each tablet contains Torsemide 10 mg and Spironolactone 50 mg.
How It Works
Torsemide increases urine output by helping the kidneys remove salt and water, while Spironolactone blocks a hormone (aldosterone) that would otherwise cause the body to retain sodium and lose potassium — together providing balanced fluid control.
