What does it do?

Torsemide is a medication that belongs to the loop diuretic class, primarily used to eliminate excessive water and sodium accumulated in the body. It is used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and edema, increasing urine production in the kidneys.

Torsemide inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions in the renal loop of Henle, allowing more water and salt to be excreted in the urine. As a result, the excess fluid accumulated in the body is reduced, aiding in blood pressure regulation and edema relief.
