Tradename: Examid Examide Compound: Each tablet contains: Torasemide 5 mg Properties: Torasemide is a “loop” diuretic. The main mechanism of action of the drug is due to the reversible binding of torasemide to the sodium/chlorine/potassium ion cotransporter located in the apical membrane of the thick segment of the ascending loop of Henle. As a result, the reabsorption of sodium ions is reduced or completely inhibited and the osmotic pressure of the intracellular fluid and the reabsorption of water are reduced. Blocks aldosterone receptors in the myocardium, reduces fibrosis and improves diastolic myocardial function. Torasemide, to a lesser extent than furosemide, causes hypokalemia, while it exhibits greater activity and its effect is longer. The maximum diuretic effect develops 2-3 hours after taking the drug inside. Torasemide can be used for a long time. Indications: – Edema syndrome of various origins, incl.
