How does it Work?
Dytor 10 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.
This is how diuretics clear extra fluid and salt (certain electrolytes) out. Less fluid flowing through the veins and arteries makes their work easier, helping lower blood pressure (hypertension).
