Torsinex Injection 2ml contains torsemide (10 mg). Here's how it works on your body:

• Action on kidneys: Torsemide acts specifically on a part of your kidneys, the thick ascending limb called the loop of Henle.
• Inhibits the ion-carrier system. It works by blocking a system in your kidneys that carries sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), and chloride (2Cl-) ions. This leads to these ions being excreted along with water.
• Increases urine production: The result of this action is an increased production of urine (diuresis), which helps get rid of excess fluid from your body.

• Torsinex Injection 2ml should be stored at room temperature, ideally below 30 °C.
• Do not freeze the injection.
• Keep it out of the reach of children.
• Always check the expiration date on the package before administration.

• If you're using Torsinex Injection 2ml to manage conditions such as congestive heart failure or kidney disease, it could be beneficial to limit your sodium (salt) intake. This can help reduce fluid retention in your body.
• Regular, mild exercise can also support general heart health. However, do consult your doctor to discuss an exercise plan that's suitable for you.
