Torsimid S 5/50 Tablet 10 is used to remove excess fluid (oedema) in conditions such as heart failure, liver cirrhosis and kidney disease, and to help manage resistant high blood pressure and an overactive adrenal hormone condition.
It contains torasemide, a loop diuretic that removes excess salt and water, and spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic that helps balance potassium while removing fluid.
Take it as prescribed, usually earlier in the day so it does not disturb sleep.
Tell your doctor about any kidney problems before use. Your doctor may check your body salts, as this combination can raise potassium and lower sodium. Report marked dizziness, muscle weakness, or an irregular heartbeat.

Management Of Side Effects:
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Torsimid S 5/50 Tablet 10.

How Torsimid S 5/50 Tablet 10 Works?
Torsimid S 5/50 Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:
Torsemide (5 mg): This loop diuretic prevents the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in specific parts of the kidneys called the ascending loop of Henle and distal renal tubule. This action increases the elimination of water, sodium, chloride and other electrolytes from your body, reducing fluid retention.
Spironolactone (50 mg): This is a potassium-sparing diuretic that works by blocking aldosterone receptors in the kidneys. It reduces sodium and water retention while preserving potassium levels in your body, helping to decrease fluid buildup.
