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 is a potent diuretic that is classified as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body, such as prostaglandins, which are substances that cause swelling and fluid accumulation in the body. This can lead to various complications such as kidney failure, kidney disease, and increased blood pressure. Furosemide is available in tablet form and is typically prescribed in doses of 40 mg and 80 mg. It is important to note that the maximum recommended dosage of furosemide for treating fluid retention is 40 mg per day. Furosemide tablets are often taken as a daily dose of one tablet or two tablets. It is recommended to take these tablets with food to reduce stomach irritation. It is also recommended to avoid heavy or fatty meals before taking furosemide tablets. This is because furosemide may reduce the absorption of some of its active ingredients, making it more challenging to absorb. However, it is essential to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Furosemide works by inhibiting the action of a specific enzyme, which is responsible for breaking down the hormone responsible for the swelling and fluid accumulation in the body. The hormone responsible for the fluid retention is made up of two main chemicals: diuretics and trihydroxyphenylacetamide. Diuretics are substances that help to remove excess fluid from the body through urination, thus helping to reduce the amount of excess fluid in the body. Trihydroxyphenylacetamide (or trihydroxybenzoic acid) is a white to off-white, odorless, and tasteless liquid that is used in the treatment of edema. It is available in the form of tablets or capsules, which can be taken in the form of a liquid. Furosemide tablets are available in strengths ranging from 40 mg to 80 mg. The recommended daily dose of furosemide for the treatment of edema is 20 mg or 40 mg, depending on the severity of symptoms. Patients should start taking furosemide as soon as possible after their initial dose. However, it is important to continue taking it as prescribed even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished. However, it is essential to follow the prescribed dosage schedule and do not exceed it. It is also important to take furosemide at the same time each day to maintain steady levels in the body. It is not uncommon to see patients taking it with food to reduce stomach irritation.
Furosemide is typically administered once or twice a day, usually at the same time every day. The medication may need to be taken for as long as four to five days. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider to achieve optimal results. It is essential to take the medication at the same time each day to maintain steady levels in the body.
Furosemide can stay in the body for up to a week or longer after its administration. However, it is important to keep track of any changes in your body as it becomes more effective. Keep track of any symptoms you experience while taking this medication, and notify your healthcare provider if you have any signs of an allergic reaction.
