This medication is a popular steroidal antimineralocorticoid, which is used to treat and prevent heart failure. It binds with the mineralocorticoid receptors so that aldosterone cannot form a bond with the same. Torsemide belongs to the class loop diuretics. It reduces the blood pressure by inhibiting Na-K-2Cl reabsorption at ascending loop of Henle. This helps in increasing the excretion of water and sodium.
