What Is Torsemide 5mg?
Torsemide is a prescription loop diuretic that works in the kidneys to increase the amount of salt and water removed in the urine. This helps reduce swelling and fluid buildup (edema) associated with heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and liver disease such as cirrhosis. It is also approved to lower high blood pressure, alone or with other medicines. Torsemide 5mg tablets are typically taken once daily and are available under the brand name Demadex.
