Scientific Evidence:

Torasemide, the active ingredient in Torasemid SANDOZ, is a loop diuretic that works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys, leading to increased urine production and reduced fluid retention. This mechanism helps in managing conditions like heart failure and kidney disease.

Studies have shown that torasemide is as effective as other loop diuretics like furosemide but may have a longer duration of action, allowing for once-daily dosing and potentially better adherence to treatment regimens.

Additional Information:

It is important to monitor electrolyte levels regularly while taking Torasemid SANDOZ, as it can cause imbalances such as low potassium or magnesium. Your doctor may recommend dietary changes or supplements to manage these effects.

Before starting Torasemid SANDOZ, inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, as drug interactions may occur. Avoid sudden changes in position to prevent dizziness, especially when rising from a sitting or lying position.
