Description
Diuride Tablets contain Torsemide, a loop diuretic used to treat fluid retention (edema) caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease. It is also used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). Torsemide works by helping the kidneys eliminate excess salt and water from the body, thereby reducing swelling and lowering blood pressure.
Dosage/Directions
Take one Diuride Tablet once daily, preferably in the morning with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it. Avoid taking the medication within 4 hours of bedtime to prevent nighttime urination. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the duration of treatment.
Side Effects
Common side effects include increased urination, dizziness, headache, and electrolyte imbalances such as low potassium or sodium levels. Some individuals may experience dehydration, muscle cramps, or weakness. Rare but serious side effects include severe allergic reactions, kidney problems, and hearing changes. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, seek medical attention immediately.
