Properties

«Loop» diuretic. The main mechanism of action is due to the reversible binding of torasemide to the sodium / chlorine / potassium counterporter located in the apical membrane of the thick segment of the ascending loop of Henle, as a result of this, the reabsorption of sodium ions is reduced or completely inhibited and the osmotic pressure of the intracellular fluid and water reabsorption decrease.

Torasemide, to a lesser extent than furosemide, causes hypokalemia, while it is more active and its effect is longer. The diuretic effect develops within about an hour after oral administration, reaching a maximum after 3-6 hours, and lasts from 8 to 10 hours.

Reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressu while lying and standing.
