Details
Toresmide is called a "Loop" Diuretic". Loop diuretics are the most potent and can be administered orally or parenterally. Torsemide is most often used when furosemide resistance is encountered or suspected. In the dog, torsemide is approximately 10 times more potent than furosemide at dosages < 0.2 mg/kg, every 24 hours. At dosages > 0.4 mg/kg, every 24 hours, potency may be up to 20 times that of furosemide. Torsemide has the same mechanism of action as furosemide, inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption. Approximately 62% of torsemide is excreted in the urine unchanged. In dogs, peak diuresis occurs at 2 hours and persists for 12 hours. In cats, peak diuresis occurs at 4 hours and persists for 12 hours. Typically, torsemide is administered in combination with or instead of furosemide to manage refractory CHF in dogs. In cats, it is typically administered to replace furosemide when resistance is encountered (requiring > 6 mg/kg, every 24 hours).
We directly source prescription medications from manufacturers and wholesale distributors registered with the FDA and licensed by applicable state boards. Guaranteed genuine, and where applicable, backed by the manufacturer.

Torsemide is highly protein bound (98%–99%) and is rapidly and highly absorbed, with a bioavailability of 98% and peak plasma concentrations obtained within 1 hour after administration.The typical starting dose when it is used as the initial loop diuretic for the treatment of canine CHF is 0.13 to 0.25 mg/kg, every 24 hours for mild pulmonary edema. Higher dosages (0.26 to 0.4 mg/kg, q 24 h) may be needed initially to stabilize dogs with severe pulmonary edema but can then be decreased to the minimum effective maintenance dose of approximately 0.13 to 0.25 mg/kg, every 24 hours. Typically, torsemide is administered in combination with or instead of furosemide to manage refractory CHF in dogs. In cats, it is typically administered to replace furosemide when resistance is encountered (requiring > 6 mg/kg, every 24 hours).
