Fixed-dose Combination of Torsemide and Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists

The combination of torsemide and spironolactone presents a promising approach to managing conditions such as edema and hypertension. Torsemide, a loop diuretic, enhances diuresis by inhibiting sodium reabsorption in the kidneys, while spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic and mineralocorticoi...

Zusammenfassung:The combination of torsemide and spironolactone presents a promising approach to managing conditions such as edema and hypertension. Torsemide, a loop diuretic, enhances diuresis by inhibiting sodium reabsorption in the kidneys, while spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA), complements this effect by preventing potassium loss and offering additional cardiovascular benefits. This review examines clinical evidence supporting their combined effectiveness in treating fluid retention and improving outcomes in conditions like heart failure (HF). Given the limited research available, it is essential to carefully evaluate patient-specific factors. However, several side effects necessitate careful patient selection and monitoring. Moreover, optimizing dosing regimens is crucial to ensure the safety and efficacy of torsemide and MRAs in clinical settings.
