Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Torsemide is a loop diuretic. The maximum diuretic effect develops 2-3 hours after taking the drug orally. The main mechanism of action of the drug is due to the reversible binding of torasemide to the sodium/chlorine/potassium ion contransporter located in the apical membrane of the thick segment of the ascending loop of Henle, as a result of which the reabsorption of sodium ions is reduced or completely inhibited and the osmotic pressure of intracellular fluid and water reabsorption are reduced. . Blocks myocardial aldosterone receptors; reduces fibrosis and improves diastolic myocardial function.
Torasemide causes hypokalemia to a lesser extent than furosemide, but it is more active and its action lasts longer. The use of torasemide is the most reasonable choice for long-term therapy.
Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration, torasemide is quickly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Food intake does not have a significant effect on the absorption of the drug. The maximum concentration of torasemide in the blood plasma is observed 1-2 hours after oral administration. Bioavailability is 80 - 90% with minor individual variations.
The diuretic effect lasts up to 18 hours, which facilitates the tolerability of therapy due to the absence of very frequent urination in the first hours after taking the drug orally, which limits the activity of patients.
Communication with blood plasma proteins is more than 99%. The apparent volume of distribution is 16 l. Metabolized in the liver using isoenzymes of the cytochrome P450 system. As a result of sequential reactions of oxidation, hydroxylation or ring hydroxylation, three metabolites are formed (M1, M3 and M5), which bind to plasma proteins by 86%, 95% and 97%, respectively.
The half-life (T1/2) of torasemide and its metabolites is 3-4 hours and does not change in chronic renal failure. The total clearance of torasemide is 40 ml/min, renal clearance is 10 ml/min. On average, about 83% of the dose taken is excreted by the kidneys: unchanged (24%) and in the form of predominantly inactive metabolites (M1 - 12%, M3 - 3%, M5 -41%). In renal failure, T1/2 does not change, T1/2 of metabolites M3 and M5 increases. Torsemide and its metabolites are slightly eliminated by hemodialysis and hemofiltration.
In case of liver failure, the concentration of torasemide in the blood plasma increases due to a decrease in the metabolism of the drug in the liver. In patients with cardiac or liver failure, T1/2 of torasemide and metabolite M5 is slightly increased, drug accumulation is unlikely.
Indications for use
• edema syndrome of various origins, including in chronic heart failure, diseases of the liver, lungs and kidneys;
• arterial hypertension.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to torsemide or to any of the components of the drug; in patients with an allergy to sulfonamides (sulfonamide antimicrobials or sulfonylureas); renal failure with anuria; hepatic coma and precoma; refractory hypokalemia/refractory hyponatremia; hypovolemia (with or without arterial hypotension) or dehydration; pronounced disturbances in the outflow of urine of any etiology (including unilateral damage to the urinary tract); glycoside intoxication; acute glomerulonephritis; decompensated aortic and mitral stenosis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy; increased central venous pressure (over 10 mm Hg); hyperuricemia; simultaneous use of aminoglycosides and cephalosporins; age under 18 years; pregnancy, breastfeeding period; lactose intolerance, lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption.
CAREFULLY
Arterial hypotension, stenosing cerebral artery atherosclerosis, hypoproteinemia, predisposition to hyperuricemia, urinary flow disorders (benign prostatic hyperplasia, narrowing of the urethra or hydronephrosis), history of ventricular arrhythmia, acute myocardial infarction (increased risk of cardiogenic shock), diarrhea , pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus (decreased glucose tolerance), hepatorenal syndrome, gout, anemia; simultaneous use of cardiac glycosides, corticosteroids and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
USE IN PREGNANCY AND DURING THE PERIOD
Torsemide does not have a teratogenic effect or fetotoxicity; it penetrates the placental barrier, causing disturbances in water-electrolyte metabolism and thrombocytopenia in the fetus.
There have been no controlled studies on the use of torasemide in pregnant women; the drug is not recommended for use during pregnancy. It is not known whether torasemide passes into breast milk. If it is necessary to use the drug Torasemide-SZ during lactation, you must stop breastfeeding.
Directions for use and doses
Orally, once a day, without chewing, with a sufficient amount of water. The tablets can be taken at any convenient time, regardless of meals. Edema syndrome in chronic heart failure
The usual starting dose is 10-20 mg once daily. If necessary, the dose can be doubled until the desired effect is obtained. Edema syndrome in kidney disease
The usual starting dose is 20 mg once daily. If necessary, the dose can be doubled until the desired effect is obtained. Edema syndrome in liver disease
The usual starting dose is 5-10 mg once daily. If necessary, the dose can be doubled until the desired effect is obtained. The maximum single dose is 40 mg; it is not recommended to exceed it (there is no experience with use). The drug is used for a long period or until swelling disappears.
Arterial hypertension
The starting dose is 2.5 mg (1/2 5 mg tablet) once daily. If there is no therapeutic effect within 4 weeks, the dose is increased to 5 mg once a day. If there is no adequate reduction in blood pressure when taken at a dose of 5 mg once a day for 4-6 weeks, the dose is increased to 10 mg once a day. If the use of the drug at a dose of 10 mg per day does not give the required effect, an antihypertensive drug of another group is added to the treatment regimen.
Elderly patients do not require dose adjustment.
Side effect
The incidence of side effects is classified according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization: very common: > 1/10 (> 10%); often: from>1/100 to <1/10 (>1% and <10%);
uncommon: > 1/1000 to < 1/100 (> 0.1% and < 1%); rare: from > 1/10000 to < 1/1000 (> 0.01% and < 0.1%); very rare: <1/10000 (<0.01%); frequency unknown: frequency cannot be estimated from available data. From the nervous system: often - headache, dizziness, drowsiness; infrequently - muscle cramps of the lower extremities; frequency unknown - confusion, fainting, parasthesia in the extremities (feeling of numbness, “crawling” and tingling). From the senses: frequency unknown - visual impairment, hearing impairment, tinnitus and hearing loss (usually reversible), usually in patients with renal failure or hypoproteinemia (nephrotic syndrome).

Other:
frequency unknown - aplastic or hemolytic anemia.
Overdose
Symptoms: increased diuresis, accompanied by a decrease in circulating blood volume and disturbances in the water-electrolyte balance of the blood, followed by a pronounced decrease in blood pressure, drowsiness and confusion, and collapse. Gastrointestinal disturbances may occur.
Treatment: there is no specific antidote. Provocation of vomiting, gastric lavage, activated charcoal. Treatment is symptomatic, dose reduction or discontinuation of the drug and at the same time replenishment of blood volume and indicators of water-electrolyte balance and acid-base status under the control of serum concentrations of electrolytes, hematocrit, symptomatic treatment.
Hemodialysis is ineffective.
Interaction with other drugs
Increases the concentration and risk of developing nephro- and ototoxic effects of cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, chloramphenicol, ethacrynic acid, cisplatin, amphotericin B (due to competitive renal excretion). Increases the effectiveness of diazoxide and theophylline, reduces the effectiveness of hypoglycemic agents, allopurinol. Pressor amines and torasemide mutually reduce the effectiveness. Drugs that block tubular secretion increase the concentration of torasemide in the blood serum. With the simultaneous use of glucocorticosteroids, amphotericin B, the risk of developing hypokalemia increases, with cardiac glycosides - the risk of developing glycoside intoxication increases due to hypokalemia (for high- and low-polarity) and prolongation of the half-life (for low-polarity). Reduces the renal clearance of lithium drugs and increases the likelihood of intoxication. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, sucralfate, reduce the diuretic effect due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, disruption of renin activity in the blood plasma and excretion of aldosterone. Strengthens the antihypertensive effect of antihypertensive drugs, neuromuscular blockade of depolarizing muscle relaxants (suxamethonium) and weakens the effect of non-depolarizing muscle relaxants (tubocurarine). Concomitant use of large doses of salicylates during torsemide therapy increases the risk of their toxicity (due to competitive renal excretion). Sequential or simultaneous use of Torsemide with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor antagonists can lead to a significant decrease in blood pressure. This can be avoided by reducing the dose of torasemide or temporarily stopping it.
Concomitant use of probenecid or methotrexate may reduce the effectiveness of torsemide (same secretion route). On the other hand, torasemide may lead to decreased renal elimination of these drugs.
With simultaneous use of cyclosporine and torasemide, the risk of developing gouty arthritis increases due to the fact that cyclosporine can cause impaired renal urate excretion, and torasemide can cause hyperuricemia.
It has been reported that in patients at high risk of developing nephropathy taking torasemide orally, renal dysfunction was observed more often during the administration of radiocontrast agents than in patients at high risk of developing nephropathy who received intravenous hydration before the administration of radiocontrast agents. The bioavailability and, as a consequence, the effectiveness of torasemi may be reduced when combined with cholestyramine.
special instructions
Use strictly as prescribed by your doctor. Patients with hypersensitivity to sulfanilamides and sulfonylurea derivatives may have cross-sensitivity to Torasemide-SZ. For patients receiving high doses of Torasemide-SZ for a long period, in order to avoid the development of hyponatremia, metabolic alkalosis and hypokalemia, a diet with sufficient salt content and the use of potassium supplements are recommended.
An increased risk of developing fluid and electrolyte imbalances is observed in patients with renal failure. During the course of treatment, it is necessary to periodically monitor the concentration of blood plasma electrolytes (including sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium), acid-base status, residual nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid and, if necessary, carry out appropriate corrective therapy (with a higher frequency in patients with frequent vomiting and against the background of parenterally administered fluids).
If azotemia and oliguria appear or worsen in patients with severe progressive kidney disease, it is recommended to suspend treatment.
The selection of a dosage regimen for patients with ascites against the background of liver cirrhosis should be carried out in hospital conditions (violations of water and electrolyte balance can lead to the development of hepatic coma). Regular monitoring of blood plasma electrolytes is indicated for this category of patients.
In patients with diabetes mellitus or with reduced glucose tolerance, periodic monitoring of glucose concentrations in the blood and urine is required. In unconscious patients with prostatic hyperplasia and narrowing of the ureters, diuresis control is necessary due to the possibility of acute urinary retention.
Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery
During the treatment period, patients should refrain from driving vehicles and engaging in other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions (risk of dizziness and drowsiness).

Torsemide, 10 mg, tablets, 60 pcs.
The drug LOTONEL® is used strictly as prescribed by a doctor.
Patients with hypersensitivity to sulfonamides and sulfonylureas may have cross-sensitivity to torsemide.
For patients receiving high doses of torasemide over a long period, a diet with sufficient salt content and the use of potassium supplements are recommended to avoid the development of hyponatremia, hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis.
The risk of hypokalemia is greatest in patients with liver cirrhosis, increased diuresis, insufficient dietary electrolytes, and concomitant use of corticosteroids or ACTH.
An increased risk of developing fluid and electrolyte imbalances is observed in patients with renal failure. During a course of treatment with LOTONEL®, it is necessary to periodically monitor the content of electrolytes in the blood plasma (including sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium), acid-base status, concentration of residual nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid and, if necessary, carry out appropriate corrective therapy ( with a higher frequency in patients with frequent vomiting and against the background of parenteral administration of fluids).
In patients who have developed fluid and electrolyte disturbances, hypovolemia, or prerenal azotemia, laboratory findings may include: hyper- or hyponatremia, hyper- or hypochloremia, hyper- or hypokalemia, acid-base imbalance, and increased plasma urea concentrations. If these deviations from laboratory parameters occur, it is necessary to stop taking LOTONEL® until normal values are restored, and then resume treatment with LOTONEL® at a lower dose.
If azotemia and oliguria appear or worsen in patients with severe progressive kidney disease, it is recommended to suspend treatment with LOTONEL®.
The selection of a dosage regimen for patients with ascites against the background of liver cirrhosis should be carried out in a hospital setting (violations of water and electrolyte balance can lead to the development of hepatic coma). This category of patients requires regular monitoring of blood plasma electrolytes.
The use of the drug LOTONEL® may cause an exacerbation of gout.
In patients with diabetes mellitus or with reduced glucose tolerance, periodic monitoring of glucose concentrations in the blood and urine is required.
In unconscious patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and narrowing of the ureters, diuresis control is necessary due to the possibility of acute urinary retention.
In patients with diseases of the cardiovascular system, especially those taking cardiac glycosides, diuretic-induced hypokalemia can cause the development of arrhythmias.
Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and machinery
