Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, you should not increase the dose of Torsemide. Better to take combination of diuretics (Torsemide with Spironolactone).This combination will be more effective than increasing dose of Torsemide.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
