TOR 5 Tablet

Product introduction
TOR 5 Tablet belongs to a class of medicines known as diuretics or water pills. It is mainly used to manage fluid retention in the body (edema) caused by conditions such as heart failure, kidney problems, or liver disorders. Additionally, it is prescribed to control high blood pressure.

This medicine works by helping the body eliminate excess salt and water through urine. It can be taken alone or in combination with other medicines depending on your doctor’s advice. It may be consumed with or without food, preferably at the same time every day. To avoid frequent urination at night, it is better not to take the tablet within four hours of going to bed.

Even if you feel better, you should continue taking the medicine unless advised otherwise by your doctor, as stopping it suddenly can worsen your condition. Making lifestyle changes such as limiting salt intake, quitting smoking, and managing stress can improve the effectiveness of this medicine.

Some common side effects that may occur include dizziness, headache, low blood pressure, dehydration, constipation, and stomach discomfort. These are usually mild and temporary, but if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Inform your healthcare provider if you have liver issues before starting the medication. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before use. Regular monitoring of kidney function and electrolyte balance is recommended while on this medicine. Since it may lower potassium levels, your doctor might suggest adding potassium-rich foods like bananas and coconut water to your diet or prescribe supplements.
