The pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical eff icacy, adverse effects, and pharmaco economics of torasemide are reviewed. Torasemide belongs to the pyridine-sulfonylurea class of loop diuretics. Its primary site of activity is the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, where it blockes active reaborption of sodium and chloride, resulting in diuresis, natriuresis, and other effects. Torasemide has high bioavailability,a relatively long half-life. It is highly protein bound. Clinical trials indicate that torasemide is effective in the treatment of hypertension and of edema and other symptoms in patients with chronic renal failure,hepatic dysfunction,or congestive heart failure(CHF) . Torasemide has mild, adverse effects. Pharmacoeconomic analysis has shown that torasemide is likely to reduce overall treatment costs of CHF by reducing hospital admission and readmission.
