Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This study aims to evaluate how a combination of two medications, Torsemide and Spironolactone, behaves in the body when taken together as a fixed-dose tablet. It specifically focuses on understanding how these drugs are absorbed and processed over multiple doses in healthy adults. The research is important because it helps determine if this combination is consistently effective and safe, which could potentially offer a more convenient treatment option for patients who need both medications. Participants in the study will take the Extended Release Torsemide and Spironolactone combination tablet, as well as separate tablets of Torsemide and Aldactone (another form of Spironolactone). The study monitors how these drugs affect the body by measuring levels of Torsemide and certain elements like sodium, potassium, and creatinine in urine samples. These measurements help researchers understand the drugs' effects and how they might work in a steady state, ensuring that the treatment is both effective and safe over time.
