Product Overview
TOR 5 mg contains torsemide, a loop diuretic used to help manage high blood pressure and fluid retention. It works by increasing urine production, which allows the body to remove excess salt and water.
As a result, torsemide 5 mg tablets may help reduce swelling, ease breathing difficulties, and support cardiovascular health. Healthcare providers commonly prescribe this medication for conditions such as heart failure, kidney disorders, and fluid buildup.
How to Use TOR 5 mg
Take TOR 5 mg exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is usually taken once daily.
Swallow the tablet with a full glass of water. You may take it with or without food. For consistent results, take it at the same time each day and follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.

How Torsemide 5 mg Works
Torsemide acts on the kidneys, specifically in the loop of Henle, where it blocks the reabsorption of sodium and chloride.
Consequently, the body increases urine output. This process helps reduce fluid buildup and lowers blood pressure, improving overall circulation and comfort.
Additional Uses
In some cases, healthcare providers may prescribe torsemide for other fluid-related conditions such as kidney-associated edema. However, these uses depend on individual assessment and should follow medical advice.
