It belongs to the group of medicines called loop diuretics (water pills). Torsemide 40mg tablet works by acting on the kidneys to increase the flow of urine.

If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled. This medicine is available only with your doctors prescription.
