Torsemide & Spironolactone Tablets 10/25 Mg

Description

What Are Torsemide & Spironolactone Tablets 10/25 mg?

Torsemide & Spironolactone Tablets 10/25 mg are a fixed-dose combination of:

• Torsemide 10 mg – a loop diuretic that promotes the elimination of sodium and water by increasing urine production.

• Spironolactone 25 mg – a potassium-sparing diuretic that reduces fluid retention by blocking aldosterone, helping the body eliminate excess fluid while retaining potassium.

This combination therapy supports fluid balance and helps reduce symptoms associated with conditions that cause fluid overload.

How the Medicine Works

Torsemide

Torsemide acts on the loop of Henle in the kidneys, increasing the excretion of sodium and water. This promotes fluid removal from the body, reducing swelling (edema) and lowering blood pressure.

Spironolactone

Spironolactone blocks the action of aldosterone, a hormone that causes the kidneys to retain sodium and water. This helps eliminate excess fluid while sparing potassium.

Together, these medicines work synergistically to enhance diuresis while reducing the risk of potassium depletion.

Indications

Torsemide & Spironolactone Tablets 10/25 mg are prescribed for:

• Edema related to heart failure

• Edema from liver cirrhosis

• Edema with kidney (renal) dysfunction

• Supportive management of hypertension (high blood pressure)
  (Use only when directed by a qualified healthcare provider.)
