INTRODUCTION
AMIFRU PLUS 10MG/5MG contains Torasemide which belongs to a group of medicines called diuretics. It is used to manage high blood pressure alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents. This medicine has been found to be effective in manageing edema associated with chronic renal and heart failure where a rapid onset of diuresis is required. Torsemide acts by inhibiting the sodium, potassium and chloride carrier system. It increases the urinary excretion of electrolytes such as sodium, chloride, and water thus increasing the amount of urine produced without significantly altering glomerular filtration rate, renal plasma flow or acid-base balance.
