Torsemide Compound Basics
Torsemide Compound treats congestive heart failure. This diuretic is ten times more potent than furosemide, another diuretic used to treat congestive heart failure. It works by preventing sodium and chloride from being reabsorbed. Torsemide is prescribed legally by veterinarians as an extra-label drug.
Torsemide Compound requires a prescription from your veterinarian. It is available as an oral suspension.

Torsemide Compound Warnings
Keep out of the reach of children and pets. Do not use in pets with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to diuretic drugs. Use with caution in pets that suffer from diabetes or liver disease.
