Summary

This completed Phase 3 study in 24 healthy adults examines whether taking a fixed-dose combination of extended-release torsemide and spironolactone with or without food changes how the body absorbs the drugs. Participants receive a single dose under both conditions, and researchers measure drug levels in blood and urine. The goal is to guide dosing instructions for this heart failure medication.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could help doctors know whether to take this pill with or without food for best absorption.
