Torsid5 mg

Torsid 5 mg is indicated for the treatment of edema associated with congestive heart failure, renal disease, or hepatic disease. Torsid 5 mg is indicated for the treatment of hypertension alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.

Loop diuretics

Torsid 5 mg acts within the lumen of the thick ascending portion of the loop of Henle, where it inhibits the Na+/K+/2CI carrier system. Torsid 5 mg increases the urinary excretion of sodium, chloride and water, but it does not significantly alter glomerular filtration rate, renal plasma flow or acid-base balance.

Edema associated with heart failure: The recommended initial dose is Torsid 5 mg 10 mg or 20 mg once daily. If the diuretic response is inadequate, titrate upward by approximately doubling until the desired diuretic response is obtained.Edema associated with chronic renal failure: The recommended initial dose is Torsid 5 mg 20 mg once daily. If the diuretic response is inadequate, titrate upward by approximately doubling until the desired diuretic response is obtained.Edema associated with hepatic cirrhosis: The recommended initial dose is Torsid 5 mg 5 mg or 10 mg once daily, administered together with an aldosterone antagonist or a potassium-sparing diuretic. If the diuretic response is inadequate, titrate upward by approximately doubling untilthe desired diuretic response is obtained.Treatment of Hypertension: The recommended initial dose is 5 mg once daily. If the 5 mg dose does not provide adequate reduction in blood pressure within 4 to 6 weeks, increase to 10 mg once daily. If the response to 10 mg is insufficient, add another antihypertensive agent to the treatment regimen.

Patients receiving high doses of salicylates may experience salicylate toxicity when Torsid 5 mg is concomitantly administered. If Torsid 5 mg and cholestyramine should be co-administered, administer Torsid 5 mg at least one hour before or 4 to 6 h after cholestyramine administration. Also, coadministration of Torsid 5 mg with ACE inhibitors or Angiotensin receptor blockers can increase the risk of hypotension and renal impairment.

Torsid 5 mg is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Torsid 5 mg. It is contraindicated in patients who are anuric or with hepatic coma.

Pregnancy Category: BUse in Lactation: It is not known whether Torsid 5 mg is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when Torsid 5 mg is administered to a nursing woman.

Hypotension: Excessive diuresis may cause potentially symptomatic dehydration, blood volume reduction and hypotension.Electrolyte and Metabolic Abnormalities: Torsid 5 mg can cause symptomatic hypokalemia, hyponatremia and hypochloremic alkalosis.

Protect from light and moisture. Store below 30°C. Keep the medicine out of reach of children.
