Diuretic / Antihypertensive
Product Description:
Dytor Plus 5 mg Tablet is a fixed-dose combination of Torasemide and Spironolactone, designed to manage conditions associated with fluid retention and high blood pressure. Torasemide is a loop diuretic that helps the kidneys eliminate excess salt and water, reducing swelling and lowering blood pressure. Spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic, prevents excessive potassium loss while also helping remove excess fluid. Together, they effectively treat edema and hypertension while maintaining the body’s potassium balance.
Indications / Uses:
-
Edema (Fluid Retention): Associated with heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and kidney disease.
-
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): To lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack.
Mechanism of Action:
-
Torasemide: Inhibits sodium and chloride reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to increased urine production and reduced fluid retention.
