The drug "Trigrim" instructions for use belongs to the group of diuretic medicines, which are based on the connection of the transporter type Na + / 2Cl- / K + with torasemide. Taking this medication significantly reduces, slows down, and completely prevents the absorption of sodium ions in the human body. As a result, the patient has reabsorption of water and a decrease in the
osmotic pressure of the so-called intracellular fluid. It should also be noted that due to the pronounced antialdosterone effect, the Trigrim preparation (the instructions for use included in the kit confirms this), despite its rather long-lasting effect, practically does not provoke the development of hypokalemia.
The diuretic agent under consideration is produced in the form of flat round tablets containing 10, 5 or 2.5 milligrams of torasemide as the active substance. Additional components include magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, corn starch and lactose.
Take Trigrim pills, the instructions for use advise with the goal of eliminating edema caused by diseases of the liver or kidneys. In addition, it is an indispensable drug for people with first degree arterial hypertension. For this category of patients, it is recommended to prescribe a systematic administration of the Trigrim medication. Indications for use include edema associated with severe heart disease.
Specialists recommend taking Trigrim medicine, as a rule, at 5 milligrams once a day. In case of urgent need, the attending physician can increase the dosage several times. The maximum daily dose is 20 milligrams. At the same time, the amount of medication should be increased gradually. In exceptional cases, up to 40 milligrams of the drug is allowed for twenty-four hours.
It should be especially noted that the administration of the Trigrim tablets categorically prohibits people suffering from arrhythmia or anuria. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should also refrain from taking this diuretic. In addition, doctors do not recommend taking this drug for those who suffer from chronic renal failure. In case of hypersensitivity to torasemide or an allergic reaction to any of
auxiliary components should also abandon the use of this drug. With extreme caution and only under the supervision of a doctor, you can take Trigrim tablets for people with gout, liver disease, or with a diagnosis of diabetes.
With regard to possible side effects, here the instruction, first of all, warns of the risk of developing hypokalemia or pancreatitis, blood pressure disorders, decreased platelets and white blood cells, decreased appetite and urinary retention. Also, some categories of patients may experience dizziness, general weakness, drowsiness, hearing loss, skin rashes, headaches, and leg cramps.
