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.

Furosemide is an antidiuretic hormone. It is primarily used in the management of fluid retention and hypertension in patients with heart failure and is associated with a reduction in blood pressure.
Furosemide is a loop diuretic that works by inhibiting an enzyme (FUROS) in the kidneys called filtered sodium. Furosemide decreases sodium levels in the blood and increases the excretion of water. This may help to reduce fluid build-up in the body.

If you or a loved one is struggling with symptoms of heart failure or other heart conditions, you may have a difficulty in breathing or struggling to breathe. Sometimes, these symptoms are subtle and become more obvious over time, leading to a persistent or worsening chest pain. Symptoms of heart failure and other heart conditions can vary widely among individuals and may include:
Your healthcare provider may prescribe a different medication to treat these symptoms. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen over time, your healthcare provider may adjust your treatment plan. These medications may include:
Your healthcare provider may prescribe these medications to manage symptoms of heart failure and other heart conditions. These medications may be taken with or without food. However, some people may take them with food, such as milk or yogurt. Taking them with food may also help to reduce swelling and fluid buildup in the ankles, legs, or both.
If you or a loved one has not responded to one of these medications, your healthcare provider may suggest you try other medications to manage your symptoms. These may include:
Lasix is a diuretic drug that is used to treat fluid retention (edema) in the body, which is a condition where water and electrolytes are reduced. It helps to relieve swelling caused by fluid retention. Lasix is available in a generic form called Furosemide. This diuretic drug comes as tablets or injectable solutions. Lasix is a prescription drug and should only be used under the supervision and prescription of a healthcare professional. It is also important to discuss any concerns or side effects with a doctor before taking Lasix. This medication is available in a different form to the generic form of Furosemide.
Lasix tablets are made from an amorphophilic material called a polyol. This material allows for the release of the drug by increasing the release of a substance called a sodium salt. This substance is then excreted in the body. Lasix tablets are given as a tablet or a liquid, which is then dissolved in water. This is done by placing the tablet in a glass and letting it dissolve. Lasix is a diuretic drug and should only be taken under the supervision and prescription of a healthcare professional. This medication is available in a different form to the generic form of furosemide. It is important to discuss any concerns or side effects with a doctor before taking this medication.
Lasix is used to treat fluid retention (edema) caused by the failure of certain blood vessels in the body. Lasix is also prescribed for the treatment of edema due to conditions like congestive heart failure, liver disease and kidney disease. Lasix is also used to treat high blood pressure and other fluid retention conditions.
Lasix should not be used in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Pregnant and lactating women should consult their doctor before using this medication.
Some of the common side effects of Lasix include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, flushing, muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking Lasix and seek immediate medical attention.
