Scientific Evidence

Torasemide, a loop diuretic, works by inhibiting the Na+/K+/2Cl- co-transporter in the ascending loop of Henle, leading to increased excretion of water and electrolytes. This mechanism helps reduce fluid retention in conditions such as heart failure and kidney disease.

Clinical trials have shown that torasemide is effective in managing edema and improving symptoms in patients with heart failure. A study by Felker et al. (2003) demonstrated that torasemide was associated with greater symptom relief and weight loss compared to furosemide in heart failure patients.
