Lasix (furosemide) is a powerful diuretic medication used to treat fluid retention and high blood pressure in the body. It works by increasing the amount of urine produced by the kidneys and thickening the muscle tissue in the urine for faster urine output. This can help reduce the swelling and discomfort associated with urination.
Lasix is available in the form of tablets or capsules. The dosage is usually calculated based on how much fluid is in each individual’s body. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the doctor and to discuss any concerns or side effects. It is also important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment as the results may vary depending on the individual.

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.

The objective of this review was to review the literature on the relationship between creatinine clearance and furosemide (Furo-). Furosemide is a diuretic that reduces fluid volume by increasing the production of urine. Furo- is a loop diuretic that has shown good efficacy and has few side effects. The literature review was performed to identify the dose and frequency of administration of Furo- in patients. Data from the literature review included the following:Clinical studies,RCTsDosage formEffect of Furo- on creatinine clearanceInteractions of Furo- with other diureticsDosage forms.
The following is an overview of the information in the literature and the available data:
The information in this review is derived from the literature. The following references are listed:
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 risk of complications such as pain, exercise, and swelling from heart, liver, or lung disease.
Do not take Furosemide if you are allergic to furosemide or any of its ingredients. Before taking it,, review your healthcare provider before to avoid any allergic reactions.
Talk to your doctor if you want to find out more information about the safety of furosemide.

Seek medical attention if you experience signs of an allergic reaction, such as skin rash, itching, or difficulty breathing
Take any prescribed medicine with or without food as per your doctor's prescription
Furosemide can increase your risk of dehydration (you may be more thirsty if you drink alcohol), electrolyte disturbances (such as, stomach acid), and any other drugs you have got. Therefore, avoid prescription medicines with furosemide, as they can make it more difficult to get the blood pressure that you need.
Medicines should not be taken with food or alcohol as they can affect each patient individually.
Readers' own informationabout the use of furosemide against liver disease in dogsRead about the use of furosemide against liver disease in dogs with liver disease and oedema in cats against oedema in dogs with oedema from oedema from heart disease and oedema from oedema from lung disease to ascites and kidney disease in cats against furosemide (Furossem) in.What is furosemide?Furosemide belongs to a group of medicines called diuretics (which increase the production of urine), which are used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and oedema (swelling) caused by conditions such as liver disease, kidney disease, or heart failure.
Furosemide is a potent diuretic. It helps to increase the amount of urine that is passed out from the kidneys, helping to lower the amount of excess fluid (urine) in the body and reducing the workload on the heart and other parts of the body.
It is not known whether furosemide works against oedema (swelling) caused by conditions such as liver disease or heart failure. However, because high blood pressure and oedema are conditions in which the blood pressure is high, furosemide can treat these conditions.
Furosemide has a bitter, sour, andrienable taste. Because it is a strong medicine, your doctor may change the dose of your medicine to treat your medicine-the same dose of medicine that is used to treat liver disease or kidney disease.
It is important that you follow your doctor's instructions for use.
How long does furosemide take to work?In the fast-acting state(keto dose), furosemide starts working within 1-2 hours of oral administration and it usually takes 2-3 days for furosemide to be effective.
