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 ascending loop of Henle in the kidneys. This leads to increased urine production and reduced fluid retention in the body.

Clinical trials have shown that torasemide is effective in reducing edema and improving symptoms in patients with congestive heart failure and other conditions associated with fluid overload.

Additional Information:

It is important to monitor electrolyte levels regularly while taking Torasemid SANDOZ, as it can cause imbalances such as hypokalemia or hyponatremia. Consult your doctor if you experience any signs of dehydration or electrolyte abnormalities.

Avoid sudden changes in body position to prevent dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when rising from a sitting or lying position. Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
