Spironolactone + Torasemide

Spironolactone + Torasemide is a combination medicine primarily used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), edema (fluid retention), and heart failure. It helps remove excess fluid from the body while maintaining potassium levels. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic, and Torasemide is a loop diuretic, making this combination effective in managing fluid retention-related conditions. Doctors commonly prescribe this medication to prevent swelling caused by kidney, liver, or heart disorders. Proper dosage and medical supervision are essential for safe use, as improper use may lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
