Torsid 5 Tablet

Product Overview

Torsid 5 Tablet is a diuretic, often referred to as a water tablet, that helps the body remove excess fluids and salt. It is commonly used to manage swelling (edema) associated with conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disorders. Additionally, it is prescribed to treat high blood pressure.

How It Works

This medicine promotes the excretion of water and electrolytes through urine, which helps reduce fluid retention. By lowering the excess fluid in the body, it relieves symptoms such as swelling in the arms, legs, or abdomen, and difficulty breathing, making daily tasks easier to perform.

Uses

Control of high blood pressure (hypertension)

Treatment of heart failure

Relief from edema

Management of elevated blood calcium levels

Benefits

In conditions where fluid build-up causes discomfort, Torsid 5 Tablet aids in reducing swelling and breathing difficulties. This improves overall mobility and enhances confidence in performing regular activities.

Dosage and Administration

Take the medication as directed by your healthcare provider. It can be consumed with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day to ensure consistent results. Avoid taking it within four hours before bedtime to prevent frequent urination at night. Swallow the tablet whole—do not crush, chew, or break it.

Precautions

It is essential to continue using this medication even if you feel well, as stopping it without medical advice may worsen your condition. Lifestyle changes such as reducing stress, limiting salt intake, and quitting smoking can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.

Before starting the medicine, inform your doctor if you have liver problems or kidney issues. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their healthcare provider before use. Regular monitoring of kidney function and electrolyte levels is advised, as this medication may lower potassium levels. Your doctor might recommend adding potassium-rich foods like bananas and coconut water or prescribe supplements as needed.

Possible Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and temporary as the body adjusts to the medication. These may include:

Headache

Dizziness

Dehydration

Constipation

Low blood pressure

Upset stomach

If any side effects persist or cause concern, speak with your doctor.
