Description
Product Overview:
Tide 5 Tablet is a diuretic (also known as a water pill) used to treat conditions like high blood pressure and edema (swelling due to excess fluid in the body). It works by helping the body get rid of excess water and salt through increased urine production. This helps reduce swelling and lowers blood pressure, which can make it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body.
Tide 5 Tablet is commonly used in conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease. It may also be prescribed to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).
Key Ingredient:
- Torasemide (5mg): Torasemide is a loop diuretic that increases the excretion of water, salt, and other electrolytes through urine. By removing excess fluid, it reduces swelling (edema) and lowers blood pressure, easing the strain on the heart and improving circulation.
