How is Dytor (20mg) helpful for patients with diabetes? ## Dytor contains the active ingredient Torsemide, it is a loop diuretic, used to remove excess fluids from the body. That said, this is not used to treat diabetes, at all. Did your doctor prescribe this? ## In the month of June 2010 there was problem with me, where I had extra urine accumulated in my body. Dr asked me to take Dytor 20 tab. I used this medicine for one month, then I stopped it. Since my Dr ask me to monitor my body weight, I used to monitor it. In the last week my weight has suddenly gone up. I then started Dytor 20 and my weight went back down. Now I need to know if I should take Dytor permanently or occasionally? Kindly clarify. ## I am aged 70..I have sugar high BP Colestrol.I got bypassed 15 yrs before.Mydaily ...

My husband has chf so takes this med. It hasn't worked after taking double dose. He weight is increasing..ten lbs since yesterday. Could this be kidney relater or a low postasium level. ## Hello, Donna! How is your husband doing? It would be best for him to contact his cardiologist for an emergency appointment. It's difficult to guess why he isn't responding to the medication, but yes, it usually signals that there is some other underlying cause. Is he on any other medications? Does he limit his daily liquid intake? Does he limit his sodium intake? The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and dehydration.

hi im having dytor 10 for reducing my weight and my blood pressure and sugar are i normal level...taking this pill is right or wrong? i have started a day before...plz suggest me a gud answer as im going to get married soon i want to reduce ma weight ## Dytor contains the active ingredient Torsemide, this is a LOOP diuretic that's most commonly used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and edema. It is not safe to use it to try to lose with it, unless your doctor has specifically instructed you to do so. It can lower blood pressure, but its effects on weight are only due to the fluid it removes from the body. Removing too much fluid could cause dehydration and it is not the type of weight you'll usually keep off, anyway. Learn more Dytor deta...

What is the differants can you take both at the same time ## Hello, Theresa! How are you? They are both used to help remove excess fluid from the body to treat conditions such as edema, high blood pressure and congestive heart failure, but they work in different ways. Torsemide also often forces potassium out of the body, so when someone's potassium is low or if they don't hold normal levels of it, the Spironolactone might be prescribed instead, since it tends to help the body hold on to potassium. And no, unless your doctor has specifically instructed you to do so, you shouldn't take both at the same time, because that could create the risk of severe dehydration and kidney damage. Side effects to these medications may include nausea, dizziness, headache and increased urinat...

Would like to know if you get leg cramps following taking Torsimide, Also was told that Fluid pills, namely Lasix is dangerous when taken with blood pressure meds,(Enalaprel)... Would appreciate any infor. Thanks ## There are dangers associated with combining them, but they happen very rarely and diuretics are often combined with blood pressure medications, the dangers are most often associated with people that have severe, active cardiac conditions, such as congestive heart failure. The usual doses, for a person that is regularly monitored by their doctor very rarely cause any dangerous issues. As to the leg cramps, there are 2 reasons those might be occurring, or they could be from a combination of both. The medication may be causing you to become dehydrated, or it may have caused you...
