Scientific Evidence:

Torasemide, the active ingredient in Toradiv, is a loop diuretic that works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys, leading to increased urine production. This mechanism helps reduce fluid overload in conditions such as heart failure and renal dysfunction.

Clinical trials have shown that torasemide is as effective as other loop diuretics like furosemide but may offer advantages in terms of longer duration of action and improved tolerability. A study by Felker et al. (2011) demonstrated that torasemide was associated with a lower risk of hospitalization for heart failure compared to furosemide.

• Storage: Store Toradiv solution for injections at room temperature away from light and moisture.
