Introduction

TEROMIDE PLUS 10 is a combination diuretic medication containing:Torsemide 10 mg – a potent loop diuretic and Spironolactone 50 mg – a potassium-sparing diuretic and aldosterone antagonist

This synergistic formulation is used to treat edema (fluid retention) and hypertension (high blood pressure), especially in patients with congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Composition

  • Active Ingredients:

    • Torsemide 10 mg

    • Spironolactone 50 mg

  • Brand Name: TEROMIDE PLUS 10

  • Form: Oral Tablet

  • Manufacturer: Steris Healthcare Pvt Ltd

What is TEROMIDE PLUS 10 Used For?

TEROMIDE PLUS 10 is used in the treatment and management of:

  • Edema associated with heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease

  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)

  • Ascites and fluid overload conditions

  • Hypokalemia risk control (balances potassium loss from loop diuretics)

This dual-action formulation offers effective fluid elimination while maintaining electrolyte balance.

How Does It Work?

Torsemide 10 mg:

  • A loop diuretic that increases urine output by blocking sodium and chloride reabsorption in the kidneys.

  • Rapidly reduces excess fluid buildup in tissues (edema) and lowers blood pressure.

Spironolactone 50 mg:

  • A potassium-sparing diuretic that antagonizes aldosterone, a hormone responsible for sodium retention and potassium excretion.

  • Helps retain potassium and prevents hypokalemia, a common side effect of loop diuretics.

Together, they provide potent diuretic action while preserving potassium levels and enhancing cardiovascular stability.
