Torsid 5 Tablet 10 contains Torsemide (5 mg), which influences the body in several ways:

• Acts on Kidneys: Torsemide has a direct impact on a part of your kidneys called the loop of Henle. This is where most of your urine formation takes place.
• Inhibits Reabsorption: In this part of the kidneys, torsemide inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and chloride. This means that more sodium and chloride are removed from your body through urine.
• Increases Urinary Output: By inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption, torsemide also reduces water reabsorption. The result is increased urine output – a process known as diuresis.
• Reduces Fluid Overload: With more water being expelled from your body in the form of urine, torsemide helps reduce excess fluid in your body. This action alleviates oedema and lowers blood pressure.
