Overview
Torsinex 20mg Tablets (30 pack) contain torasemide, a loop diuretic ('water tablet') that helps the body remove excess fluid. Torasemide increases the amount of salt and water the kidneys pass out, relieving the fluid build-up (oedema) and breathlessness of heart failure and some kidney and liver conditions, and helping to control high blood pressure. It works in a similar way to furosemide but with a longer, steadier action. The 20mg strength is a common dose. A doctor-prescribed option helping people clear troublesome fluid retention and manage heart failure or hypertension. Confirm the active on the pack.
Active: Torasemide 20mg per tablet. Confirm on packaging.
