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 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 ethical consideration the oral dosage should be regarded as early as possible and only one tablet per day.Furosemide is within the body name for f.

Furosemide is used for treating edema and hypertension. It helps to reduce fluid buildup in the lungs, blood vessels, and heart. It may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
Furosemide is a diuretic (water pill).
Take with water, at least one hour before exercise or any activity that contains salt. Do not take with food.
Furosemide should be used with caution in patients with electrolyte imbalance, severe liver disease, or in patients with known hypersensitivity to furosemide. Furosemide is contraindicated in individuals with hypokalaemia (low blood potassium) due to an overactive or inappropriate potassium balance. The dosage of this drug in adults must be based on the condition being treated. In cases where the condition being treated is congestive, congestive heart failure, congestive nephralgia, or renal failure, a diuretic may be administered.
Furosemide may also be used to treat certain types of edema and hypertension. In these cases, furosemide is used with caution and in the event of excessive fluid accumulation in the body, a diuretic may be administered.
The usual dose of furosemide in adults may be decreased by 1-2 mL of water or by increasing the amount of water given. However, the usual dosing is 1-2 mL of water or 20 mg of furosemide (one 20 mg tablet).
Common side effects of Furosemide are:
Furosemide is a loop diuretic that acts on the kidneys to reduce fluid buildup in the body. When administered orally, it is eliminated by the liver in the urine, which is excreted as water and feces. Diuretics block reabsorption of water and excretion of water-soluble vitamins, which may be toxic to the body.
