Furosemideis an effective diuretic and is the brand name for Lasix. It is one of the oldest drugs that has been used to treat edema in diabetics. Furosemide can be used in the treatment of edema in diabetics, particularly in the first year after a meal. The effect of Lasix is usually to reduce water, which is also the water content of the body.
Furosemide is used as an antihypertensive, but should be avoided if possible, especially when used as the first-line treatment for blood pressure.
In the United States, Lasix is prescribed only for diabetics who are at risk of high blood pressure.
If you are taking Lasix for hypertension, do not use it if you have high blood pressure.
Use of Lasix in the treatment of hypertension may cause the kidneys to produce too much water, increasing the risk of fluid retention and edema. If you have high blood pressure, do not use Lasix.
Lasix has a long half-life, which means that it is rapidly metabolized. When you take Lasix in liquid form, it can be mixed with coffee and water, or with food, and this process is known as a “food shake.”
Do not use Lasix to prevent kidney problems such as acute tubular necrosis, acute interstitial nephritis, or acute renal failure.
If you are taking Lasix for diabetes, tell your doctor before taking Lasix, as you may be at risk of developing diabetes after taking it for a longer period of time.
Some diuretic drugs can cause fluid retention, especially when used in high doses. This can cause a patient to feel under pressure, have difficulty urinating, or have a weak urine output. It is important to be careful when taking these drugs because they can affect your kidneys. Do not increase your dose of diuretic drugs or take them more often than prescribed.
If you are on a blood pressure medication that causes high blood pressure, or if you are at risk for high blood pressure, you should tell your doctor.
If you have been told by your doctor that you have high blood pressure, do not use this diuretic. Do not take this diuretic without telling your doctor. If you become pregnant, tell your doctor right away. The risk of serious side effects may be increased if you take Lasix, especially if you have kidney disease. You should not take Lasix if you are already taking another blood pressure medication.
VIDEOIf you use Lasix, don’t take it with other medications that cause high blood pressure. Lasix has been shown to cause fluid retention and edema, and you should not take this diuretic if you are already taking another blood pressure medication.
If you are using Lasix for hypertension, do not use it with nitrates. Nitrates may cause hypotension, and high blood pressure can worsen the hypotensive effect of Lasix.
If you have been told by your doctor that you have high blood pressure, do not take this diuretic. Do not take this diuretic if you are already taking another blood pressure medication. Lasix has a long half-life, and it is usually taken by mouth at least 1 hour before a meal. The effects of Lasix on your body and your kidneys are not known. Do not take Lasix with other blood pressure medications.
The most common side effects of Lasix include the following:
These side effects may be more likely to occur if you take Lasix with other blood pressure medications.
The risks of developing side effects from Lasix when you take Lasix with other blood pressure medications are not known. You should discuss your medical history with your doctor before taking Lasix with other medications.
Lasix can increase the risk of kidney problems and high blood pressure.

There is some evidence that torasemide, which is marketed under the name Furosemide, may have more serious side effects than other drugs. There have been several case reports of death following treatment with torasemide in patients on chronic heart failure. In this case report, we asked the participants to rate their experiences with adverse reactions experienced by the placebo, torasemide, and furosemide groups.
Most participants (60%) had mild to moderate, but moderate or poor responses to therapy. The most common adverse reactions reported were edema, abdominal pain, and diaphoresis. More than half (47%) of the participants had experienced at least 1 adverse reaction in the previous 6 months.
Common side effects (≥1%) included dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, gastrointestinal upset, thrombosis, hyperkalemia, and peripheral edema. Very rarely, side effects (≥2%) included headache, taste loss, dizziness, muscle pain, hypotension, and vasculitclerosis.
The most common (≥2%) serious adverse effects (≥3%) included hypotension, peripheral oedema, and thrombosis.
The rarest (≤3%) serious (≤2%) and the very rarest (≤2%) serious (≤1%) adverse effects were hypotension, peripheral oedema, thrombosis, and thrombosisushed. The most frequently reported conditions were nephrotic syndrome, respiratory failure, and peripheral oedema.
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.

Furosemide tablets 20mg are used for the treatment of congestive heart failure, liver failure, kidney disease, and spasticity. The diuretic effects of Furosemide can be seen in its ability to increase the excretion of excess fluid and sodium. As an adjunct to treatment with diuretic therapy, it helps to lower the level of sodium in the blood and also helps to increase the excretion of potassium. The tablets are also used in combination with other diuretics to lower the potassium level in the blood. The tablets are not effective at preventing kidney disease or kidney stones.
The action of Furosemide is due to its ability to lower the amount of sodium in the blood. Therefore, it is not recommended to take Furosemide on an empty stomach or after taking certain foods. Furosemide can cause some side effects in the body. These side effects include increased urination, dizziness, weakness, vomiting, or weakness. These side effects can be easily treated with the proper dosage and treatment of the condition. Furosemide can also be used to treat some forms of hypertension. Furosemide can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including hypertension, and it may be effective in preventing or treating these conditions. Furosemide is not recommended for use by pregnant women or women planning to become pregnant while taking this medication. It is also not recommended for use in children younger than 8 years old.
