Demadex (Torsemide)

Demadex Information:

Demadex (Torsemide) is a diuretic drug used to treat fluid overload due to heart failure, kidney disease, and liver disease. This can lessen symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling in your arms, legs, and abdomen. It is also used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Torsemide causes excretion of sodium chloride and water by inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption in the ascending loop of Henle and distal collecting tubule. The effect is caused by blocking the chloride-binding site of the Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransport mechanism. Torsemide is known as a "water pill" because it causes you to make more urine. This helps your body get rid of extra water and salt.
