Scientific Evidence

Studies have shown that torasemide, the active ingredient in Torasemid SANDOZ tablets, is effective in reducing edema and improving symptoms in patients with congestive heart failure. Torasemide is a loop diuretic that works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys, leading to increased urine production and decreased fluid retention.

One study published in the European Journal of Heart Failure found that torasemide was as effective as furosemide, another commonly used diuretic, in improving exercise capacity and reducing hospitalizations in patients with heart failure. The study concluded that torasemide may offer advantages in terms of tolerability and dosing frequency.
