Lotonel
Lotonel is a medication containing Torasemide, a potent loop diuretic used primarily for managing hypertension and fluid retention associated with heart failure. It works by promoting the excretion of excess fluid through the kidneys, reducing blood pressure and alleviating symptoms of edema. Lotonel tablets are effective in improving heart function and are often prescribed for long-term management of chronic conditions. This medication is typically administered once daily, with or without food, depending on patient needs and healthcare provider recommendations. Regular monitoring of electrolyte levels is advised during treatment to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes. Lotonel is well-suited for individuals requiring consistent diuretic therapy to maintain fluid balance and cardiovascular health.Active substance:
