Generic Torsemide 10mg and 20mg tablets are available to order from our Singapore pharmacy with dependable delivery. This potent diuretic medication helps remove excess fluid from the body by increasing urine production, effectively treating edema associated with heart failure, kidney disease, and liver cirrhosis. Torsemide works by blocking sodium and chloride reabsorption in the kidneys' filtering tubes, promoting water excretion. It serves as an effective solution for adults managing fluid retention conditions who require reliable reduction of swelling and improved breathing capacity.
Generic Torsemide Buyer and Patient Handbook in Singapore
What is Torsemide?
Torsemide is a loop-diuretic used to treat fluid overload associated with Heart Failure, Hypertension, and Kidney Disease. It helps the kidneys eliminate excess salt and water, reducing swelling and lowering blood pressure. In Singapore, the drug is approved by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) and is available as oral tablets.
Who Should Use Torsemide?
- Adults with chronic heart failure experiencing fluid retention.
- Patients diagnosed with hypertension that is not controlled by first-line agents.
- Individuals with chronic kidney disease who need additional diuresis.
- Those for whom other diuretics (e.g., Furosemide) are insufficient or cause unwanted side effects.
How Does It Work?
Torsemide blocks the sodium-potassium-chloride transporter in the loop of Henle, the kidney’s “high-power pump.” By inhibiting this pump, it prevents re-absorption of sodium and water, leading to increased urine output. The result is reduced blood volume, which eases the heart’s workload and lowers blood pressure.
Why Choose Torsemide?
- Longer lasting effect than many other loop diuretics, allowing once-daily dosing for many patients.
- Predictable absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, giving consistent diuretic response.
- Generic formulation offers a cost-effective alternative to brand-name loop diuretics.
Dosage, Administration, Lifestyle and Dietary Recommendations
Recommended Dosage
- 10 mg tablet once daily (initial).
- 20 mg tablet once daily for those needing stronger diuresis.
How to Take
- Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
- Take with or without food; consistency each day helps maintain stable blood levels.
Missed Dose

Overdose

Special Populations

Lifestyle & Diet
- Maintain adequate fluid intake unless otherwise directed.

Precautions and Warnings
- Monitor electrolytes (potassium, sodium) regularly; low levels can cause muscle cramps or irregular heartbeats.
- Watch for signs of dehydration: dry mouth, dizziness, or dark urine.
- Use cautiously in patients with Gout, as uric acid levels may rise.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will I notice a reduction in swelling?
Most patients see decreased swelling within 24-48 hours after starting torsemide.
Can I take torsemide with my blood pressure pill?
Yes, torsemide is commonly combined with ACE inhibitors or ARBs, but electrolyte monitoring is advised.
Does torsemide affect my blood sugar?
It can enhance the effect of insulin or oral hypoglycemics, so check blood glucose more often.
Is it safe to drink coffee while on torsemide?
Moderate coffee intake is fine; however, excessive caffeine may increase urine output and dehydration risk.
What should I do if I feel dizzy after a dose?
Sit or lie down, hydrate with water, and rise slowly. If dizziness persists, contact a healthcare professional.
Can I skip a dose if I feel fine?
Do not skip doses without advice; inconsistent use can reduce effectiveness and cause fluid rebound.
Will torsemide interact with over-the-counter pain relievers?
NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen) can blunt the diuretic effect; use acetaminophen if needed.
How often do I need blood tests while on torsemide?
Typically every 3-6 months, or as directed by your clinician, to check kidney function and electrolytes.
