Key result
Torasemide demonstrated comparable diuretic efficacy to furosemide in preclinical models, with additional anti-aldosterone and anti-fibrotic effects beneficial for chronic heart failure and hypertension.
Why the study?
Does torasemide improve efficacy and safety compared to furosemide in models of hypertension and heart failure?
Does torasemide improve efficacy and safety compared to furosemide in models of hypertension and heart failure?
Torasemide offers a longer duration of action and additional antifibrotic benefits compared to furosemide, making it a valuable option for managing heart failure and hypertension, despite potential renal side effects requiring dose adjustment.

Offers cautious support for torasemide in hypertension; leaves open need for prospective comparative trials.
This study presents the review and analysis of materials, the summary of the data on the results of experimental (preclinical) pharmacological studies of the drug Torasemide and the results of clinical studies of the original drug Demadex, based on risk factors influencing the outcomes of hypertension in people. The information on the efficacy and safety of the drugs based on Torasemide is also presented in the relevant sections of the article. The search for information sources for the review was carried out using domestic and international databases elibrary and PubMed, applying contextual queries, including international non-proprietary names, terms of preclinical studies of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and animal species used. This review considers the aspects of safety, pharmacokinetics, primary and secondary pharmacodynamics of Torasemide, available in various sources describing its preclinical studies. The summarized data presented in the study, in our opinion, may be used by researchers who are engaged in preclinical and clinical studies, as well as the issues of studying the efficacy and safety of generic drugs used in the treatment of patients with arterial hypertension and other cardiovascular pathology. The information on the advantages of Torasemide in comparison with Furosemide in the treatment of animals with simulated arterial hypertension deserves special consideration.

Анисимова et al. (2020) conducted a review in Arterial hypertension and chronic heart failure. Torasemide vs. Furosemide was evaluated. Torasemide demonstrated comparable diuretic efficacy to furosemide in preclinical models, with additional anti-aldosterone and anti-fibrotic effects beneficial for chronic heart failure and hypertension.
