The Torsemide 10 mg Tablet (SWASTOR 10) is a prescription loop diuretic (water pill) used primarily to treat edema (swelling) caused by heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease, and also to manage high blood pressure.
Key Information
Active Ingredient: Torsemide 10 mg.
- Mechanism of Action: It works by helping the kidneys eliminate excess water and salt from the body through urine, which reduces fluid accumulation and lowers blood pressure.
- Administration: It is typically taken orally once daily, with or without food, at the same time each day. To avoid nighttime urination, it’s best to take it in the morning.
Common Uses
Torsemide 10 mg is prescribed for:
- Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure).
- Reduction of edema (fluid retention/swelling) associated with:
- Congestive heart failure.
- Liver disease (cirrhosis).
- Kidney disease.
Important Precautions
- Medical Supervision: This medication is only available with a doctor’s prescription and must be taken exactly as directed. Do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well, as your condition may worsen.
- Electrolyte Levels: Torsemide can lower potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium levels in your blood. Your doctor may recommend a potassium-rich diet (e.g., bananas, spinach) or supplements and order regular blood tests to monitor your electrolyte and kidney function.
- Alcohol and Driving: The medication may cause dizziness, so caution is advised when driving or performing activities requiring alertness. It is recommended to consult a doctor about alcohol consumption while on this medication.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Potential Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary.
- Common Side Effects: Headache, dizziness, increased urination, constipation, upset stomach, and decreased blood pressure.
- Serious Side Effects (call a doctor immediately): Signs of severe dehydration or electrolyte imbalance (e.g., unusual thirst, muscle cramps/weakness, irregular heartbeat), hearing changes (ringing in the ears), or signs of an allergic reaction (hives, difficulty breathing).
