Torsemide and Gout: What You Need to Know
As a gout sufferer, I recently came across information about Torsemide and its connection to gout.

Though it helps to reduce excess fluid in the body, it can unfortunately trigger gout flares by increasing uric acid levels. It's essential to weigh the benefits and risks of using Torsemide if you have gout and consult your doctor for alternative medications if needed. Ultimately, managing gout and maintaining overall health should always be a priority.
