DEMADEX (torsemide) is a loop diuretic administered intravenously that inhibits the Na/K/2Cl-carrier system in the thick ascending loop of Henle, increasing urinary excretion of sodium, chloride, and water. It is indicated for edema associated with congestive heart failure, renal disease, hepatic disease, and hypertension, either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents. The drug's diuretic activity correlates with urinary excretion rate rather than serum concentration.
