Frequently asked Questions about Torsip

Question about 5 years ago

Can Torsip be used with lasix?

Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo MBBS , Internal Medicine

Yes, Torsip can be used with lasix (furosemide). Both are loop diuretics, however, furosemide has a shorter half-life than Torsip. The long-acting Torsip, when added to lasix, can produce better clinical outcomes. It is also advisable to pair Torsip with a potassium-sparing diuretic like spironolactone because while Torsip may lead to potassium loss, spironolactone will retain potassium in the body.
