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. Most of these side effects of Furosemide do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
Do not take it if you are allergic to furosemide or any other components present in Furosemide. Try not to stop taking Furosemide of your own. Let your doctor know about this, as it may cause a rise in blood pressure and can increase the risk of getting heart disease and stroke. 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.

Furosemide (Generic) Tabletsare a prescription medication used in dogs and cats to treat edema (fluid retention) and congestive heart failure. They belong to a class of medications called diuretics, which help the body remove excess fluid by increasing urine production. Furosemide tablets are available in various strengths and are typically given orally one to three times a day, as directed by a veterinarian. Furosemide is a potent diuretic that helps the body eliminate excess fluid, making it useful in the treatment of edema and congestive heart failure. Available in tablet form for easy oral administration to dogs and cats, furosemide is a prescription medication and should only be used under the guidance of a veterinarian. The dosage of furosemide varies depending on the pet's weight, condition, and other factors, so it is important to follow the veterinarian's instructions carefully. While generally safe when used as directed, furosemide can cause side effects such as increased thirst, increased urination, and electrolyte imbalances.
Furosemide (Generic) Tablets are indicated for the treatment of edema (fluid retention) associated with congestive heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease in dogs and cats. They are also used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) in some cases. Furosemide works by increasing the production of urine, which helps to remove excess fluid from the body. It is important to follow the veterinarian's instructions carefully when using furosemide to ensure its effectiveness and safety.
Furosemide (Generic) Tablets work as a diuretic by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys. This action prevents the reabsorption of water, leading to increased urine production and the elimination of excess fluid from the body. By reducing the volume of fluid in the bloodstream, furosemide helps to decrease the workload on the heart and improve symptoms of edema, such as swelling and difficulty breathing, in conditions like congestive heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease.
The brand name, generic version of furosemide, is FUROSEMIDE (for furosemide).
