Dr. Payam Mehranpour answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Cardiology

Diuretics: There are many different diuretics. Torsemide and Bumetanide are in the same class. Others include hydrochlorothiazide, indapamide, metolazone, .... Choice of agent in part depends on reason to use diuretic treatment.
