Torsemide is a loop diuretic (water pill) that prevents your body from absorbing too much salt, allowing the salt to instead be passed in your urine.

Torsemide treats fluid retention (edema) in people with congestive heart failure, liver disease, kidney disease, or kidney failure. This medication is also used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).

Torsemide may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
