CompositionToride 20 MG Tablet 10 is mainly used to manage fluid retention (oedema) often seen in congestive heart failure, kidney disease, and liver disease. This medicine belongs to a group known as loop diuretics (containing Torsemide 20 mg). It works by increasing the production of urine, removing excess fluid and salt from the body. Additionally, it is used to manage high blood pressure or hypertension, either alone or alongside other antihypertensive agents.

Toride 20 MG Tablet 10 contains only one active ingredient: Torsemide (20 mg). Here's how it works in your body:
Inhibits Sodium and Chloride Reabsorption: Torsemide acts on a part of your kidneys known as the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. It blocks the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in this segment, which leads to increased urine production.
Promotes Diuresis: The blocking of sodium and chloride reabsorption causes diuresis, which means more urine is produced. This helps your body get rid of excess fluid that causes oedema.
Lowers Blood Pressure: By getting rid of the excess fluid, torsemide also helps lower blood pressure.
Promotes Excretion of Minerals: Apart from sodium and chloride, torsemide also promotes the excretion of potassium, calcium, and magnesium from your body.
