Dytor Plus LS Tablet is used to remove excess water from the body. It also maintains the bloodstream's potassium level and prevents hypertension. It contains Spirolactone and Torsemide, which work by increasing the amount of urine that is passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney or lung disease. This reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it also helps lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of any future heart attack, stroke or angina (chest pain) in the future. In some cases, you may experience side effects such as dehydration, electrolyte disturbances (potassium and sodium), headache, nausea, or dizziness.

About Dytor Plus LS Tablet

Dytor Plus LS Tablet belongs to a class of medicine called 'diuretics' (water pills), primarily used to remove excess water from the body. It also maintains the bloodstream's potassium level and prevents hypertension (high blood pressure due to oedema (fluid retention). Oedema or fluid overload is associated with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lung) or heart failure (irregular heart pumping). Leg swelling is the main characteristic of oedema, accompanied by shortness of breath, chest pain (angina), abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia) and swelling in other hands or abdomen areas.

Dytor Plus LS Tablet is a combination of medication containing Spirolactone and Torsemide. Both spironolactone and torsemide are diuretics and are prescribed for the treatment of resistant oedema (fluid overload) associated with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs), heart failure, and hepatic cirrhosis (chronic liver damage). Dytor Plus LS Tablet works by increasing the amount of urine that is passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney or lung disease. This reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it also helps lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of any future heart attack, stroke or angina (chest pain) in the future.

You can take Dytor Plus LS Tablet with food or without food with a glass of water. Take it preferably in the daytime to avoid frequent urination in the nighttime. Do not chew, crush or break it. Your doctor will advise you how often you take Dytor Plus LS Tablet based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience dehydration, electrolyte disturbances (potassium and sodium), headache, nausea, or dizziness. Most of these side effects of Dytor Plus LS Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Try not to stop taking Dytor Plus LS Tablet of your own as doing so may raise your blood pressure, thereby increasing the risk of getting heart diseases and stroke. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from any kidney, liver or heart disease. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of Dytor Plus LS Tablet can be prescribed accordingly. Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or are allergic to Dytor Plus LS Tablet . Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often relieves the body's swelling.
