Furosemide tablets are used to treat fluid retention (edema) in adults. Furosemide tablets are sometimes used for individuals with high blood pressure who do not respond to non-ventile atrial (AV) vasodilatation. In adult patients with hypertension, furosemide tablets provide symptomatic relief from hypertension-related side effects. Furosemide tablets are indicated for the treatment of fluid retention (edema) associated with heart failure, liver disease, and certain type 2 diabetes.
Active Ingredient: Furosemide
Indications
Furosemide Tablets
Furosemide Tablets are indicated for the treatment of fluid retention (edema) in adults.
Dosage
The recommended starting dose of furosemide for treatment of fluid retention (edema) in adults is 40 mg taken prior to AV node stimulation (30-60 minutes), without regard to the timing of therapy. The initiation of therapy should be made within one hour of the onset of edema. The duration of therapy and the response to therapy should be monitored carefully. Based on the response, the dose may be increased to a maximum recommended dose of 80 mg or decreased to 25 mg. The maximum recommended dose of furosemide for treatment of fluid retention (edema) in adults is 80 mg. Doses with a very low probability of toxicity (1-2% per day) may be given with a single dose. Doses greater than 80 mg should be given with a single dose of furosemide. A low probability of toxicity (less than 1% per day) is acceptable.
Furosemide Tablets are not indicated for use in children. The dose of furosemide tablets in children is 50 mg taken prior to AV node stimulation (30-60 minutes), without regard to the timing of therapy. The maximum recommended dose of furosemide for treatment of fluid retention (edema) in children is 80 mg.
Furosemide Tablets are not indicated for use in women.
Women who have a hypersensitivity to furosemide or any of its active ingredients should not be administered to them. Furosemide Tablets are contraindicated for patients with hypersensitivity to any component of the product.
Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle the tablet. It is unknown if furosemide tablets are absorbed through the skin in human beings. It is also not known if furosemide tablets are excreted in human milk.
Women who are breast-feeding should not handle the tablet.
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.

The use of a water-soluble salt of furosemide as an antidiabetic drug, has been widely discussed. It has been demonstrated that furosemide is a potent and selective diuretic, acting primarily on proximal and distal tubules of the kidney. Furosemide increases renal excretion of sodium, chloride, and water through the kidneys, leading to increased urinary excretion of water-soluble salt. The drug is excreted in the urine and is thus not eliminated by the kidneys.
The drug is not affected by the presence of food, and the excretion rate is not markedly influenced by the presence of a high-fat, high-calcium supplement (2% of total daily intake). The maximum rate of sodium reabsorption is about 2% of the normal rate. Therefore, the rate of excretion of water-soluble salt can be enhanced by increasing dietary water intake in the form of a calcium-rich supplement.
Furosemide is a non-sodium-chloride salt and is not considered to be a major component of the water-soluble salt of furosemide. However, it is important to highlight that furosemide is a potent, water-soluble salt and can be absorbed through the kidney in a dose-dependent manner. Furosemide is the main excipient present in the water-soluble salt of furosemide. This may lead to the alteration of the water-soluble salt of furosemide to the extent that the drug can be used in other areas of the body. The excretion of water-soluble salt by the kidneys is not affected by the presence of a high-calcium supplement and is thus unaffected by the presence of water in the form of a calcium-rich supplement.
The mechanism of action of furosemide is different from that of other diuretics and is not influenced by food. The majority of the drug is excreted in the urine in the form of sodium chloride. The rate of excretion of water-soluble salt can be enhanced by increasing dietary water intake in the form of a calcium-rich supplement. The excretion of water-soluble salt by the kidneys is unaffected by the presence of a high-calcium supplement and is unaffected by the presence of water in the form of a calcium-rich supplement.
It has been demonstrated that furosemide can be used as a diuretic in the treatment of hypokalemia in patients with chronic renal failure. The drug is excreted in the urine, and the maximum rate of sodium reabsorption is about 2% of the normal rate. The maximum rate of excretion of water-soluble salt can be enhanced by increasing dietary water intake in the form of a calcium-rich supplement. The excretion rate is not markedly influenced by the presence of a high-calcium supplement and is unaffected by the presence of water in the form of a calcium-rich supplement.
In the current study, we investigated the effect of furosemide on urine sodium excretion and the time course of excretion of water-soluble salt of furosemide. A significant decrease in urine sodium excretion and an increase in urine potassium excretion were observed in patients with acute renal failure (creatinine clearance <60 mL/min) but not in patients with chronic renal failure (creatinine clearance > to 80 mL/min). The time course of the excretion of water-soluble salt of furosemide was prolonged in patients with chronic renal failure compared to those without chronic renal failure. The time course of the excretion of water-soluble salt of furosemide was also prolonged in patients with chronic renal failure compared to those without chronic renal failure.
Furosemide is a water-soluble diuretic that was recently formulated as a combination of furosemide and metaxanthin. The active ingredient of this combination was furosemide hydrochloride. Furosemide is used as a diuretic when administered to patients with impaired renal function, such as patients with hypokalemia or edema, or to patients with acute renal failure, such as those with severe renal failure or chronic renal failure. Furosemide hydrochloride was prepared from furosemide hydrochloride. Furosemide hydrochloride was dissolved in metaxanthin and then hydrochloric acid was added.
Furosemide is used to treat a variety of conditions including fluid retention (edema) caused by certain types of fluids, and as a result of congestive heart failure and kidney problems. Furosemide can also be used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) caused by a combination of both conditions.
Furosemide: Oxaliperidil
Furosemide is a diuretic (water pill) used to lower blood pressure in the form of a reduction in blood pressure by removing about 25% of the salt in the body. This salt is a salt in the blood which normally would be removed by urinalysis but the results are not available in the market and therefore they are considered safe by the European Medicines Agency.
