Torsid Plus Tablet

Product Overview

Torsid Plus Tablet combines two medicines designed to help the body get rid of excess fluid while ensuring potassium levels remain balanced. It is primarily used to manage edema (fluid accumulation) and certain types of high blood pressure.

How to Take It

For best results, it is recommended to take this tablet in the morning with food to reduce nighttime urination. Consistency is important, so it is advisable to take the medication at the same time every day. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage and duration based on your specific condition. Continue the medication for the full course prescribed, even if you begin to feel better.

Precautions

Before using this tablet, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney problems. If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before starting this medication. It is also important to share details about any other medications you are taking, as interactions may occur.

Uses

Treatment of edema (fluid retention)

Benefits

Edema leads to swelling due to excess water in the body, often affecting the feet, legs, arms, and sometimes the entire body. Torsid Plus Tablet increases urine production, helping eliminate this extra water and reduce swelling. It also supports potassium balance, which is crucial for proper body functioning. Regular use, combined with healthy lifestyle habits like reduced salt intake and physical activity, can improve comfort and enhance daily living.

Common Side Effects

Most side effects are temporary and tend to resolve as your body adjusts. If symptoms persist or cause discomfort, consult your doctor. Possible side effects include:

Dizziness

Frequent urination

Headache

Nasal inflammation

Muscle aches

Digestive disturbances

Elevated liver enzymes

Diarrhea

Memory issues

Menstrual pain

Abnormal heart rhythms

How It Works

This tablet contains torasemide, a diuretic that helps the kidneys remove extra salt and water, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing swelling. It also includes spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic that prevents excessive potassium loss while aiding in fluid removal. Together, these medicines effectively treat conditions like edema while minimizing risks of electrolyte imbalance.

How to Use It

Take the medicine as prescribed by your doctor, in the recommended dose and for the specified duration. It should be swallowed whole without chewing or crushing, preferably with food to reduce stomach discomfort.
