Using this medication should be taken with or without food, as it can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
Furosemide is used to treat edema (fluid retention) associated with congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis (a form of liver disease) and nephrotic syndrome (a condition that causes swelling of the kidney, leading to difficulty urinating or a high blood pressure).
Furosemide can also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Please refer to the individual product guide for more information.
Furosemide is indicated for the treatment of heart failure. It may also be used in combination with other medicines to improve the shortness of breath. In heart failure, the lungs act as a cushion for the blood and to protect the heart from damage caused by high blood pressure. The patient's condition is complex, and fluid accumulation may result when using furosemide. When using this medication, fluid should be kept at a temperature of 20°-25°C (68°-77°F), or higher, in a container such as a small plastic container.
Furosemide is indicated for the treatment of liver cirrhosis. In liver cirrhosis, the liver produces too much water, resulting in swelling and difficulty urinating. Furosemide is a loop diuretic and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
Furosemide should be taken with or without food. The dose may be increased up to a maximum of 10 mg/kg/day or decreased to 5 mg/kg/day based on the patient's response and tolerability. The maximum recommended dose is 10 mg/kg/day. Patients may increase or decrease the dose based on their response and tolerability.
The duration of treatment depends on the response. If the patient is experiencing symptoms of edema, fluid intake should be maintained at 20 to 40 mg/kg/day (or lower) per day, based on the response and tolerability. The duration of treatment depends on the response and tolerability.
Furosemide should be used with caution in patients with cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disorders, liver disease, congestive heart failure or nephrotic syndrome. It may increase the risk of developing electrolyte disturbances (such as hypokalemia) or decrease the potassium level in the blood. Close monitoring of potassium levels is recommended for patients with these conditions.
The use of furosemide in combination with other antihypertensive medicines, such as benazepril or diltiazem, is contraindicated in patients with these conditions. It may lead to hypotension, potentially leading to unconsciousness or coma.
The development of glomerular lesions in patients with hepatic impairment has been reported rarely. Therefore, caution is advised when administering furosemide with other drugs, particularly for patients with hepatic impairment. Hepatic impairment is common in older patients.
Avoid the consumption of grapefruit juice, as it may reduce furosemide's absorption into the body. Therefore, avoid or limit the consumption of grapefruit products.
Patients with heart failure should be monitored for electrolyte disturbances, especially before initiating furosemide treatment. Patients should be advised to keep the affected heart rate down to less than normal for no more than 14 days, unless instructed otherwise by their healthcare provider.
Inform the doctor if the patient experiences vomiting, dizziness, difficulty urinating, diarrhea, electrolyte imbalances, difficulty sleeping, or excessive thirst. If any of these effects occur, discontinue use and seek medical assistance immediately.
Avoid the consumption of alcohol while using furosemide, as it may increase the risk of dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Patients should be advised to avoid or limit alcohol intake while using furosemide.
Furosemide Tablets are a potent 'loop' diuretic used in the treatment of oedema resulting from cardiac insufficiency, hepatic or renal dysfunction, parasitism, or of a traumatic origin. They are most commonly used as part of the medical management of congestive heart failure and other conditions where the body is retaining too much fluid.
Furosemide Tablets are flat faced, white circular tablets with bevelled edges. They are scored with a half break line for accurate dosing.

Furosemide Tablets 40mg are indicated for the treatment of oedema associated with cardiac insufficiency, renal dysfunction, and trauma in cats and dogs.
Contra-indicationsDo not use in acute glomerular nephritis, in electrolyte diseases, in patients with anuria, or patients that have received excessive doses of cardiac glycosides. Because of the danger of potentiating their toxic effects do not use with aminoglycoside or cephalosporin antibiotics. Allergic reactions have been associated with use with sulphonamides.
Special WarningsThe patient may increase its water intake to compensate for the diuresis. Consideration should be given to restricting water intake if the patient's condition makes such a course appropriate.
Special PrecautionsSpecial precautions for use in animals:Prolonged dosage may on occasions justify potassium supplementation and thus monitoring for hypokalaemia should be considered, especially if the product is used in conjunction with cardiac glycosides.Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the medicinal product to animals:Wear gloves or wash hands immediately after handling tablets. In case of accidental ingestion seek medical attention and show product label and/or pack insert to the doctor.
Adverse ReactionsNone reported
Pregnancy and LactationThe safety of use in pregnancy is not well established and a careful assessment of the likely benefits and potential risks should be made. A deleterious effect on lactation is to be expected, particularly if drinking water is restricted. Furosemide passes into milk, but not to a great extent.
InteractionsPotential interactions with other drugs include ototoxicity with aminoglycosides and nephrotoxicity with cephalosporins. Use in combination with sulphonamide treatment may lead to sulphonamide allergy. There is a possibility of interaction with cardiac glycosides.
Amounts to be Administered and Administration Route5mg/KgBW, one or two times per day. For patients weighing less than 8Kg dosage with the 20mg tablet (which may be halved) is recommended. Avoid overdosage in weak and old patients.
OverdoseDehydration and electrolyte depletion may occur. Monitor and correct, as necessary. Dosage higher than that which is recommended, may cause transitory deafness. Cardiovascular side effects may be observed in weak and old patients following overdose.
Withdrawal PeriodsNone for these species.
