Form: Oral Tablet
Product Description:
ZEMITOR Tablets contain Torsemide, a potent loop diuretic used to treat fluid retention (edema) associated with congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, or liver disorders. It is also prescribed in the management of high blood pressure (hypertension) to reduce the risk of stroke and heart failure.
Key Benefits:
-
Effectively removes excess fluid from the body
-
Reduces swelling in legs, ankles, and lungs
-
Helps manage blood pressure in hypertensive patients
-
Provides a longer duration of action than furosemide
-
Improves breathing and reduces heart workload in heart failure
How it works:
Torsemide inhibits sodium and chloride reabsorption in the loop of Henle in the kidneys, resulting in increased urine output (diuresis). This helps remove excess fluid from the body, reduces blood volume, and subsequently lowers blood pressure and swelling.
How to use:
-
Take once daily, preferably in the morning to avoid nighttime urination.
-
Swallow the tablet with water, with or without food.
-
Follow your doctor’s prescribed dose—do not self-adjust.
-
Continue treatment regularly for best results, even if symptoms improve.
Safety Advice:
-
Monitor electrolyte levels (especially potassium) during therapy.
-
May cause dizziness or lightheadedness—rise slowly from sitting/lying position.
-
Stay hydrated, but follow fluid intake limits advised by your doctor.
-
Avoid alcohol as it may increase the risk of side effects.
Precautions:
-
Use cautiously in patients with kidney or liver dysfunction.
-
Not recommended during pregnancy unless clearly needed.
-
Inform your doctor if you are on lithium, NSAIDs, or other antihypertensives.
-
Routine monitoring of blood pressure, electrolytes, and kidney function is advised.
