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.
For medical and cardiac supportLasix is a powerful antihypertensive medication. It works by preventing blood from being able to carry around the kidneys. It is available in the form of tablets, capsules, or liquid suspension. When it is used to treat edema or fluid retention, it is commonly prescribed to reduce swelling, swelling, and pain. This medication can also be used to treat high blood pressure or prevent heart attacks. It works by preventing the kidneys from absorbing too much water and also reducing the amount of fluid that enters the body through the urinary bladder.
Lasix, also known as furosemide, is a diuretic medication that is used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure (hypertension) and fluid retention (edema). It is available in a variety of forms, including tablets, capsules, and liquid suspension.

It is also known for its ability to prevent blood clots and is often used as a first line treatment for conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, and stroke.
Lasix is a common prescription medication that is often prescribed for people who are experiencing symptoms of high blood pressure or edema. It works by reducing the amount of sodium in the body, which can help prevent blood clots from forming and improve blood flow to the lungs. By increasing the amount of sodium in the body, Lasix can help to prevent heart attacks and strokes. It is important to note that Lasix should not be used for purposes other than those listed above. It is also not suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as liver disease, kidney disease, or heart disease.
Lasix is available in many forms, including tablets, capsules, and liquid suspension.

|In this section, we will compare the effects of Lasix and other diuretics on blood pressure and edema in people with diabetes.Lasix is a diuretic medication that works by reducing the amount of fluid in the body. This is usually prescribed to lower blood pressure and help to improve symptoms such as edema and swelling in the body. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure, heart failure, or fluid retention. The mechanism by which Lasix works is to reduce the amount of water in the body, which can help to reduce the pressure on the heart and lower blood pressure. This can be particularly beneficial for people with diabetes, as the body can use its own urine to make more of the fluid. However, the effectiveness of Lasix has not been well established. The effectiveness of Lasix in treating high blood pressure has been established in several studies, but there is a lack of evidence to support its use in the management of edema and high blood pressure.
Furosemide belongs to a group of medicines called diuretics (which increase the production of urine) and is used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and oedema (a build-up of fluid in the body). Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high. The higher this blood pressure, the harder the heart has to pump. As a result, it leads to heart disease, irregular heartbeat, and other complications. Oedema may occur in cases of high blood pressure where fluids of the body get trapped in the tissues of the hands, arms, feet, ankles, and legs, leading to swelling.
Furosemide works by increasing the amount of urine that is passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease. This reduces the workload on the heart and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke.
Your doctor will advise your dose and how often you need to take this medication based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience dehydration, headache, nausea, or dizziness.

Inform your doctor if you are suffering from any kidney or liver, or heart disease. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of Furosemide can be prescribed accordingly.

Before taking this medication, your doctor will discuss the possibility of experiencing a change in your kidney or liver function such as a decrease in the amount of urine that is passed out from the kidneys, or a decrease in the amount of the kidneys that line the kidneys, to minimise any possible rise in blood pressure. Although you are advised to avoid taking this medication if you have a history of furosemide-like conditions, your doctor will only advise your body of a change in the recommended dose so that it is not advised to take Furosemide.Your doctor will advise you on the correct dosage of Furosemide. Furosemide of your doctor is used to increase the production of urine by patients suffering from congestive heart failure, liver disease, kidney disease, or where high blood pressure is already a problem.

It is not recommended for you to take Furosemide of your own as it may cause a medication to build up in your body, which could lead to increased levels of furosemide in the blood.Furosemide is used to treat high blood pressure in patients with a history of heart failure, liver disease, or where high blood pressure is a problem.
