Potassium and Torsemide: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 4 records that name Potassium and Torsemide together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.

Read this first

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Potassium and Torsemide. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.

The research

4 studies naming Potassium and Torsemide.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

A Systematic Critical Review of Clinical Pharmacokinetics of Torasemide.

Therapeutic drug monitoring · 2024 · PMID 38176856

Systematic ReviewHuman subjects

“The current review summarizes all available PK parameters of torasemide that may be beneficial for avoiding drug-drug interactions in subjects with renal and hepatic dysfunction and for predicting doses in patients with different diseases.”

Sherazi et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names Potassium and Torsemide together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

The genetics of loop diuretic effects.

The pharmacogenomics journal · 2012 · PMID 20877298

Randomized Controlled Trial

Names Potassium and Torsemide together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Torsemide: a new loop diuretic.

American journal of health-system pharmacy : AJHP : official journal of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists · 1995 · PMID 8528833

Comparative StudyReviewHuman subjects

“In most patients, the pharmacokinetic advantages of torsemide over other loop diuretics are unlikely to translate into a substantial edge in clinical outcomes, and in practice there may be no cost advantages. Although torsemide does not offer major advantages over other loop diuretics, it may be of benefit in patients who do not respond to or cannot tolerate other agents.”

Fowler et al. · From the abstract

Names Potassium and Torsemide together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

NutriStack

Track what you actually take.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Potassium, Torsemide, and several hundred other substances.

The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
