About Dytor Injection 10 x 2 ml

Dytor Injection 10 x 2 ml belongs to a group of medicines called loop diuretics (which increase urine production). It is primarily used to treat oedema (a build-up of fluid in the body) due to heart failure and chronic renal failure (impaired kidney function resulting in kidney damage). Oedema may occur in high blood pressure where fluids of the body get trapped in the tissues of the hands, arms, feet, ankles, and legs, leading to its swelling. Secondly, Dytor Injection 10 x 2 ml is also used with other anti-hypersensitive medicines to treat hypertension or high blood pressure. Hypertension is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high. The higher this blood pressure, the harder the heart has to pump. 

Dytor Injection 10 x 2 ml consists of a drug called torsemide. It works by increasing the amount of urine that is passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluids in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease. This also reduces the workload on the heart and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke.

A qualified healthcare doctor will administer Dytor Injection 10 x 2 ml. Sometimes, you may experience common side effects such as dehydration, headache, nausea, dizziness, muscle cramps, or weak muscles.
