Furosemide 40mg Tablets
SKU GME695Product Introduction
Furosemide 40mg is a loop diuretic used to reduce excess fluid in conditions such as heart failure and selected kidney or liver disorders. It may also form part of blood-pressure treatment.
How to use
Take oral doses early enough to avoid excessive overnight urination; when a second dose is prescribed it is usually scheduled earlier in the afternoon. Follow the fluid and salt plan set for the underlying condition.
How it works
Blocking the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter in the thick ascending loop of Henle increases sodium and water excretion.
Side effects
Increased urination, dizziness, dehydration and low sodium, potassium or magnesium may occur.
Important information
Monitor weight, kidney function and electrolytes. Severe thirst, confusion, fainting or marked reduction in urine needs review. NSAIDs and lithium can create important interactions.
Uses
- Oedema associated with selected cardiac, renal or hepatic disorders
- hypertension
Benefits
Reduces fluid overload and associated swelling or breathlessness when fluid retention is the cause.
Why take it earlier in the day?
Its diuretic effect can otherwise disturb sleep with frequent urination.
Should I weigh myself regularly in heart failure?
A clinician-agreed weight record helps detect changing fluid retention.
Can I take potassium supplements myself?
No. Supplementation depends on blood results and other medicines.
Can ibuprofen reduce its effect?
NSAIDs can reduce diuresis and increase kidney-injury risk.
What does persistent muscle cramp mean?
It can reflect electrolyte loss or dehydration and needs assessment.
Is more water always better?
No. Fluid intake should match the heart or kidney condition's plan.
Can it interact with lithium?
Yes. Lithium concentrations and toxicity can rise.
Does increased urine mean the illness is cured?
No. Fluid removal controls a consequence of the underlying disorder.
