TORSINOL 20 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.

• Store it at room temperature, not exceeding 30°C.

• Make sure the product is shielded from light and moisture.

• Always keep this medication out of reach of children.

• Use your TORSINOL 20 TABLET 10 before its expiry date.

• If you're managing oedema or hypertension with TORSINOL 20 TABLET 10, try to maintain a low-sodium diet as excessive salt intake can aggravate fluid retention and raise blood pressure.

• Regular physical activity helps manage both hypertension and oedema. Aim to incorporate moderate exercises like walking or swimming into your daily routine, but always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
