Edeto 100mg Tablet is prescribed to treat edema (swelling) caused by conditions such as heart failure, renal impairment and liver disease. It is often given with blood pressure-lowering drugs to help patients with severe cardiovascular problems. Its main therapeutic uses are in the following conditions:

Edeto 100mg Tablet works to reduce hypertension (high blood pressure) and edema by telling the kidneys to pass more water and sodium through the urine. This reduces swelling and excess fluid build-ups in organs. When water levels decrease, the blood volume flowing through the veins and arteries lowers, resulting in lower blood pressure.

The main ingredient of Edeto 100mg Tablet is torasemide. It is a high-efficacy, high-ceiling loop diuretic. It is a sulfonamide derivative which increases diuresis and decreases blood pressure by promoting the excretion of water and sodium from the kidneys.

This medicine works by reversibly and competitively inhibiting the sodium and potassium transporters in a specific part of the kidney called the ascending limb of Henle's loop. This results in the increased excretion of sodium, potassium and chlorine along with water. When more water is passed through urine, the blood plasma volume decreases. This lowers the amount of blood the heart pumps, in turn lowering blood pressure.
