Torsemide Solution


Generic Name: Torsemide Injection Solution (TORE-se-mide)
Brand Name: Demadex

Torsemide Solution is used for:

Treatment of edema (swelling) associated with heart, kidney, or liver failure, or conditions when there is excess body water. The injection is used when a rapid decrease of swelling is desired or when a tablet cannot be taken. It is also used alone or with other medicines to treat high blood pressure. It may also be used to treat certain conditions as determined by your doctor, which may not be listed in the professional package insert.

Torsemide Solution is a loop diuretic. It works by making the kidneys eliminate larger amounts of electrolytes (especially sodium and potassium salts) and water than normal (diuretic effect).

Do NOT use Torsemide Solution if:

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Torsemide Solution or to sulfonylureas (eg, glyburide)
  • you are unable to urinate

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
