DEMADEX Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is DEMADEX?
DEMADEX is the brand name for torsemide and is available as an oral tablet.
What dosages is DEMADEX available in?

What is DEMADEX used for?

How does DEMADEX work?
DEMADEX is a loop diuretic (water pill) that makes you urinate more. It works in the kidneys to get rid of extra water and electrolytes (like sodium and potassium), which helps ease swelling and lower blood pressure.

DEMADEX is typically taken by mouth once daily. The typical starting dose is 10 mg to 20 mg by mouth once daily. Your physician will adjust your dose depending on your response to the medication. The maximum dose is up to 200 mg by mouth once daily, depending on the condition.
Is it safe for me to take DEMADEX?
DEMADEX is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not take this medication if you have a known hypersensitivity to DEMADEX or povidone, anuria, and hepatic coma.
