Oriheal Torsepet Torasemide Veterinary Loop Diuretic Tablets for Dogs & Cats
Torsepet is a veterinary prescription oral tablet from Oriheal containing Torasemide, a potent loop diuretic (sulphonamide class), indicated for the management of fluid accumulation associated with congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic cardiac disease in dogs and cats. By inhibiting the Na+/K+/2Cl− cotransporter in the ascending loop of Henlé, Torasemide promotes renal excretion of excess sodium, chloride, and water, reducing cardiac preload, pulmonary oedema, ascites, and peripheral oedema. Available in two strengths — 2.5mg for small dogs, cats, and initial dose titration; 10mg for larger dogs or higher therapeutic requirements.
Composition (per tablet)
-
Torsepet 2.5mg: Torasemide 2.5mg — loop diuretic (sulphonamide class); Na+/K+/2Cl− cotransporter inhibitor
-
Torsepet 10mg: Torasemide 10mg — loop diuretic (sulphonamide class); Na+/K+/2Cl− cotransporter inhibitor
Therapeutic Class
- Veterinary loop diuretic (sulphonamide class) prescription tablets for dogs and cats — congestive heart failure, pulmonary oedema, ascites, and cardiac fluid retention management
Key Benefits
- Loop diuretic action — reduces fluid accumulation in the lungs (pulmonary oedema), abdomen (ascites), and peripheral tissues
- Reduces cardiac preload — lowers the workload on the failing heart and improves cardiac output in CHF patients
- Promotes easier breathing by resolving pulmonary oedema and pleural effusion
- Improves activity tolerance and quality of life in chronic cardiac disease patients
- Available in 2.5mg and 10mg strengths — allows precise dose titration based on body weight and clinical response
- Suitable for long-term diuretic management in CHF under veterinary supervision
Indications
- Congestive heart failure (CHF) in dogs and cats — primary diuretic therapy
- Pulmonary oedema (fluid in the lungs) causing respiratory distress and breathing difficulty
- Ascites (abdominal fluid accumulation) associated with right-sided heart failure or hepatic disease
- Peripheral oedema associated with cardiac disease
- Long-term supportive diuretic management in chronic cardiac disease
Directions for Use
- Administer orally as directed by a licensed veterinarian — can be given with or without food
- Dosage and duration depend on body weight, clinical condition, and response to therapy — refer to veterinary prescription
- Do not alter dosage or discontinue without veterinary consultation; abrupt diuretic withdrawal may worsen fluid retention in CHF patients
- Strength selection (2.5mg vs 10mg) determined by body weight and therapeutic requirement — confirm with veterinarian
Safety Information
- Prescription medicine — for veterinary use only; administer under licensed veterinary supervision
- Monitor electrolytes (potassium, sodium) and renal function regularly during long-term loop diuretic therapy — risk of hypokalaemia and dehydration
- Concurrent use with ACE inhibitors (enalapril, benazepril) and Pimobendan is common in CHF management — confirm full cardiac protocol with veterinarian
- Not a substitute for specific cardiac medications (Pimobendan, ACE inhibitors) — used as adjunct diuretic therapy within a complete cardiac management plan
- Keep out of reach of children and other animals; store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
