Safely Buy Demadex ( Torsemide ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Demadex (torsemide) is a loop diuretic medication, also known as a water pill, used to treat fluid retention or edema in individuals with heart failure, liver disease, kidney disease, or other medical conditions.

Demadex works by helping the kidneys to eliminate excess sodium and water from the body, thereby reducing fluid buildup.

Use and Dosage

Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, with or without food, usually once daily. It is best to avoid taking this medication within 4 hours of your bedtime to prevent having to get up to urinate.

Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose or take it more often than directed.

Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day as directed. Keep taking this medication even if you feel well. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel sick. It may take 4-6 weeks, and sometimes up to 12 weeks, before the full blood pressure-lowering effect is seen. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.

If you also take certain drugs to lower your cholesterol (bile acid-binding resins such as cholestyramine or colestipol), take torsemide at least 1 hour before or at least 4 to 6 hours after these medications.

Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens. If you are taking this medication to control high blood pressure, tell your doctor if your blood pressure readings remain high or increase.
