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.

Br.; 38, 2247-62-6
In adults with fluid overload and chronic status,furosemide in adultsis used toprevent acute congestive heart failureandlower blood pressure in patients with hypertension.; 38; 2247–62-6
The recommended starting dose in adults with fluid overload is 5-10mg/day, taken with a meal, preferably before a light meal.
The gestation week for furosemide in pregnant women is 19. It is not normally used in women of childbearing potential in the UK due to concern of harm to the fetus.
There is some concern (but not severe concern) that furosemide may interact with:anticoagulant therapyincluding warfarin, digoxin, corticosteroids, and other interacting medicinal products. Medicinal products should beconsumed only withlicensed pharmacies in UKIf the pregnant woman accidentally passes a therapeutic dose of furosemide along with the pregnant woman's furosemide, it may be necessary to consider adjusting the dose of interacting medicinal products in the fetus to the safe dose of 5-10mg/day.
There is some interest (but not always a licensed dose) that furosemide is used forin womenIt has been used off-label in women with fluid overload and chronic status and is not usually recommended for this purpose.
There are a few case reports of edema of the legs, arms, hands and feet associated with congestive heart failure (CHF).
CHF is the term for heart failure that is usually seen in patients with chronic heart failure. CHF is defined as the worsening of old, severely irregular, or inadequately controlled (in patients) left ventricular failure.
CHF occurs in over 10% of patients and is characterised by a failure of the heart's ventricles to pump properly. This failure is due to failure of the heart's vas deferei which pumping blood supply the body is restricted. It is usually not a clinical indication. CHF occurs infrequently in patients with essential hypertension. In the short-term symptomatic and/or diuretic treatment of CHF the heart's blood flow problem is short lived; therefore patients are often treated with fluids and/or electrolytes.
CHF can occur in any patient's cardiac cycle, however it is most common in the first weeks of treatment and tends to resolve on-time with worsening left ventricular failure. CHF is not a contraindication for the use of furosemide in women.
Diurecting is a very important aspect of treating CHF. CHF is characterised by a deterioration of old, severely irregular, or inadequately controlled (in patients) left ventricular failure. CHF is usually not serious.
CHF occurs in over 10% of patients with essential hypertension. In the long-term symptomatic and/or diuretic treatment of CHF the heart's blood flow problem is short lived. Therefore patients are often treated with fluids and/or electrolytes. CHF is typically short-lived.
