About Torfree AL 10mg/5mg Tablet

AMILORIDE+TORSEMIDE belongs to a class of medicine called 'diuretics (water pills) primarily used to remove excess water from the body. It also keeps the potassium level in the bloodstream stable and prevents hypertension (high blood pressure caused by oedema/fluid retention). Oedema, also known as fluid overload, occurs due to the build-up of fluid in spaces between the cells. Shortness of breath, chest pain (angina), abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia), and swelling in hands or abdominal areas are the symptoms of oedema.

AMILORIDE+TORSEMIDE is a combination that includes Amiloride and Torsemide. Amiloride and Torsemide are both diuretics that are used to treat resistant oedema (fluid overload) caused by pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs), heart failure, and hepatic cirrhosis (chronic liver damage). AMILORIDE+TORSEMIDE works by increasing the amount of urine excreted by the kidneys. It effectively treats oedema (swelling) caused by heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease by reducing excess fluid levels in the body. This reduces the workload on the heart and makes it more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. As a result, it also helps lower high blood pressure, lowering the chances of a future heart attack, stroke, or angina (chest pain).
