Yes, an overdose of Torsevent is associated with hypokalemia. It is a condition in which the blood potassium levels are too low. Symptoms are muscle fatigue, muscle cramps and feeling weak.

No, Torsevent is not potassium sparing. Rather, it is a loop diuretic that removes excess of water and electrolytes like potassium from the body. One may need to eat potassium-rich foods or a potassium supplement while one uses Torsevent. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic which prevents the loss of potassium from the body.
Yes, Torsevent can be used with lasix (furosemide). Both are loop diuretics, however, furosemide has a shorter half-life than Torsevent. The long-acting Torsevent, when added to lasix, can produce better clinical outcomes. It is also advisable to pair Torsevent with a potassium-sparing diuretic like spironolactone because while Torsevent may lead to potassium loss, spironolactone will retain potassium in the body.
