How does it Work?

Dytor 20 contains torasemide, also known as torsemide. It helps reduce fluid buildup in the body due to various medical problems.

Kidney or heart disease, for example, can cause the body to trap fluid in the tissues, resulting in swelling and discomfort in the feet, ankles, and legs. Diuretics like torasemide help the kidneys flush out the excess salt and water through urine. Clearing the extra water lowers blood pressure.

Thus, diuretics clear extra fluid and salt (certain electrolytes). This makes the work of the veins and arteries easier because less fluid flows through them, helping to lower blood pressure (in hypertension).

Dytor 20 mg Uses

excess swelling (known as edema) due to water retention
hypertension (high blood pressure)

Recommended Dose

The usual starting dose is 1 tablet once a day, taken orally. However, the dosage can vary according to your condition. For example, 10 or 20 mg of torsemide is taken daily if edema is due to heart failure. If the swelling is caused by liver cirrhosis, the starting dose may be lower. Your doctor may start, change, or stop your dose as needed. However, the maximum dose should not go beyond 200mg a day.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Dytor 20 Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is nearly time for your next dose, leave out the missed dose altogether. Then, continue with your usual dosing schedule. Never use double doses or extra doses to make up for a forgotten one.

Overdose

Dytor 20 Tablets need to be taken at the right dosage. Only then can it produce the desired results. Taking too much ED medication can lead to serious side effects.

Torasemide overdose can lead to extreme dehydration. The excess loss of electrolytes can cause an imbalance in potassium, magnesium, or sodium levels. Symptoms can be severe low blood pressure or fainting. Get immediate medical attention if there is an overdose.

Side Effects

Dytor 20mg (torsemide oral tablet) can cause side effects, including:

dehydration, dry mouth, stomach upset
polyuria or excess urination
kidney impairment – problems urinating
dizziness or lightheadedness due to low blood pressure
weakness or muscle cramps due to low levels of potassium

The side effects are usually mild and go away quickly. Consult a doctor if they persist or bother you. If you experience allergic reactions like rash, itching, swelling of the face, etc, get medical attention. This list does not include all possible side effects. Ask a doctor for further guidance about side effects.

Important Advisory

Take the Dytor 20 Tablet precisely as your doctor advises for optimal results. Let your doctor know your complete medical history, including if you have any of these conditions:

high blood pressure or low blood pressure
high uric acid level

Do not take Dytor 20 Tablets if you are intolerant to torasemide. This medication may produce excess urine. Try to have it early in the day to avoid waking up during the night to urinate.

After starting treatment with Dytor 20, get your blood pressure monitored from time to time (for blood pressure and kidney functions). Dytor 20 mg tablets may cause potassium loss. Include potassium-rich food in your diet (banana, coconut water etc.).
