Dytor 10 MG Tablet treats edema and reduces the presence of extra fluid that develops in the body as a result of health problems like kidney or liver disease and heart failure. Thus, the drug helps in the relief of related symptoms which may include swelling of the abdomen or hand and legs and problems with breathing.

It also effectively treats hypertension, that is, high blood pressure. This medication is known to be a water pill, encouraging the body to create more urine and helps in flushing out the extra liquid and salts.

This medication is mostly prescribed for daily consumption and can be taken before or after food. Patients are generally advised not to take this medication for about 4 hours before bedtime, as you may develop the need to urinate frequently in the middle of the night.

The dosage prescribed to you generally depends on the severity of your condition and how your body reacts to the medicine. It may interfere with your sleeping pattern. In case of patients with edema because of congestive heart failure, the dosage may vary from 10mg - 20mg in a day. Those with renal problems may be prescribed about 20mg daily.

Patients with hypertension are generally prescribed about 5mg-10mg of the drug to be taken once a day. This medication should not be discontinued prior to the doctor’s consent.

Ototoxicity is associated with rapid I.V. administration of other loop diuretics and has been seen with oral torsemide. Do not administer intravenously in less than 2 minutes; single doses should not exceed 200 mg. Hypersensitivity reactions can rarely occur. Monitor fluid status and renal function in an attempt to prevent oliguria, azotemia, and reversible increases in BUN and creatinine. Close medical supervision of aggressive diuresis is required. Monitor closely for electrolyte imbalances particularly hypokalemia and correct when necessary. Coadministration with antihypertensives may increase the risk of hypotension. Use caution in patients with known hypersensitivity to sulfonamides or thiazides (due to possible cross-sensitivity); avoid in patients with history of severe reactions.
