Thanks for your query to Healthcaremagic. Both of the drugs work by the same token in reducing fluid retention and are effective as well. In my opinion,preferably choose Dytor(Torsemide) because of its prolonged diuretic action,decreased risk of hypokalemia compared to Lasix(Furosemide). Hope i have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
