Torsemide & Spironolactone Tablets 10/50 Mg

What Are Torsemide & Spironolactone Tablets 10/50 mg?

Torsemide & Spironolactone Tablets 10/50 mg consist of:

• Torsemide 10 mg – a loop diuretic that promotes the excretion of sodium and water from the body, reducing fluid buildup.

• Spironolactone 50 mg – a potassium-sparing diuretic that decreases fluid retention without causing potassium loss.

Together, these drugs help regulate fluid balance, blood pressure, and cardiac workload in patients with certain cardiovascular and renal conditions.

How the Combination Works

Torsemide

Torsemide increases the removal of sodium and water from the kidneys by acting on the loop of Henle in the nephron. This helps reduce swelling (edema) and lower blood pressure.

Spironolactone

Spironolactone blocks aldosterone, a hormone that promotes salt and water retention. By reducing aldosterone’s effects, it helps maintain potassium balance while preventing excess fluid buildup.

When used together, this combination enhances fluid removal while reducing the risk of potassium loss, making it especially useful in long-term management.

Therapeutic Uses

Torsemide & Spironolactone Tablets 10/50 mg are prescribed for:

• Edema associated with heart failure

• Edema from liver cirrhosis

• Edema in kidney disorders

• Management of hypertension (high blood pressure) as part of a comprehensive treatment plan

These tablets are typically used when a healthcare provider determines that dual diuretic therapy is medically appropriate.

Dosage & Administration

The dosage of Torsemide & Spironolactone Tablets 10/50 mg should be individualized based on the patient’s medical condition, response to treatment, and clinical guidelines. It is usually taken once daily, often in the morning to reduce night-time urination.

Always take this medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not adjust your dose without consulting a clinician, and do not stop the medication abruptly.

Safety Information & Precautions

Before using this combination medicine:

• Inform your doctor about all medical conditions, especially kidney disease, liver disease, electrolyte abnormalities, or heart rhythm disorders.

• Monitor potassium levels, as spironolactone can increase potassium.

• Use caution if you are pregnant or breastfeeding — discuss risks and benefits with your doctor.

• Avoid dehydration, and stay hydrated as directed by your healthcare provider.

Both drugs affect fluid and electrolyte balance, so regular monitoring of kidney function, electrolytes (especially potassium), and blood pressure is recommended during treatment.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Increased urination

• Dizziness or lightheadedness

• Headache

• Elevated potassium levels (hyperkalemia)

• Electrolyte imbalance

More serious but rare effects include severe dehydration, changes in heart rhythm, or significant shifts in blood chemistry. Seek medical attention for symptoms like muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, or severe fatigue.

Storage Instructions

Store Torsemide & Spironolactone Tablets 10/50 mg in a cool, dry place below 25 °C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
