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.

Where disulfiram does not work, it tablets are not recommended.Diuretic treatment is the main component of a heart failure drug. Diuretic drugs work by increasing the amount of water (pee-pee) that is retained in the circulatory system. Diuretic drugs increase the amount of water, thus improving the symptoms and fluid overload. The main goal of diuretic treatment is to increase the amount of fluid available in the circulatory system, while minimizing the risk of high-risk acute circulatory failure. Diuretic drugs are usually given by intravenous administration, while oral diuretic drugs are given orally by an intravenous pump. Oral diuretic drugs, however, have a higher risk of side effects, such as low urine output and electrolyte imbalance, and should not be given to patients with a previous history of high blood pressure and other conditions. The risk of hypovolemia is higher in patients with a prior history of hypokalemia, particularly those with a history of edema. The diuretic effect of oral diuretics is considered to be similar to that of intravenous diuretics, but the diuretic dose is different and can be increased with oral doses, or even decreased with intravenous doses. Oral diuretic drugs are available in many forms, including tablets, oral liquids, powders, injections, suppositories, ointments and solutions. Injection solutions are available in different strengths and form. The diuretic effect of injectable solutions is thought to be related to the volume of the solution (injectable volume). Oral liquids are the most widely used forms of injectable diuretic drugs. The oral forms have a relatively low risk of systemic absorption, and the oral forms are not affected by water content. Oral diuretic solutions are available in several formulations, including aqueous, hygroscopic, and water-free liquids. The water content in the solution is usually less than 0.1%, and the concentration of the solution in the blood is less than 0.1%, which makes oral diuretic solutions suitable for short-term treatment. For patients who have a history of hypersensitivity to furosemide, oral diuretic solutions may be used, although they should be administered with caution due to the risk of electrolyte imbalance and hypokalemia. Oral diuretic solutions are also available in a number of strengths, including 0.9% to 1.3%, with a range of 1.3% to 8.1% in a variety of forms, including oral, syrup, solution, and liquid. Oral diuretic solutions are not recommended for use in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to furosemide.

Lasix 40mg tablet contains an active ingredient called Furosemide which belongs to the medication class known as diuretics. It is used to treat edema (excessive water accumulation) and high blood pressure. Edema can be caused by various underlying issues such as heart, lung, kidney, or liver problems. This helps the kidneys to remove excess water, which is not needed by the body.
Lasix 40mg tablet should not be taken if you are allergic to Furosemide or other sulphonamide-related medicines or any of the ingredients in the medication. Also, do not consume if you have anuria, impaired kidney function or kidney failure, severe kidney damage, very low levels of potassium, sodium, or other electrolytes, dehydration, low blood pressure, take potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics, have liver cirrhosis or liver encephalopathy, suffer from Addison's disease, have digitalis poisoning, or if you are breastfeeding.
Before starting the treatment with Lasix 40mg tablet, notify your doctor if you have hypovolaemia (low blood volume) or risk of low blood pressure, hypoproteinaemia (low levels of blood protein) due to kidney damage, liver congestion or other liver problems, kidney problems, diabetes or insulin use, advanced age or medications that lower blood pressure, prostate issues or difficulty in urinating, history of gout or abnormal blood condition, and upcoming blood or urine tests.
How to use Lasix 40mg tablet: The dosage of a medication should be adjusted by the doctor based on the individual's age, weight, general health, and response to treatment. The usual starting dose is 10 mg per day. You should not increase the dosage if you have severe dehydration, diabetes, or hypertension. Tell your doctor right away if you experience any signs of kidney problems or liver problems, swelling or fluid accumulation in the treated area, or a skin rash or you experience severe dizziness or fatigue. Do not take this medicine if you are also taking furosemide or any other loop diuretic unless your doctor explicitly tell you to unless you are told by your doctor. Furosemide works by removing any deficiency of sodium (comparative or excess water) in the body, which is not needed by the body. It also helps the body to eliminate salt and water from the stomach and kidneys by inhibiting absorption of sodium and water. Lasix 40mg tablet may cause dehydration, so drinking plenty of water while taking this medication may help in managing this. It may also increase a patient's risk of sunburn and red blood cells from sunburn to red blood cells. This risk may increase if the use of this medication for a long time is prohibited. If you are also taking furosemide or other loop diuretics, follow the instructions of your doctor carefully. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than directed. If you are also taking Lasix 40mg tablet, follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Report to your doctor any important information regarding your electrolyte levels such as how much uric acid (a medicine used to help your kidneys remove excess water from the body) and how many liters (mole equivalents) of body weight (calculated using the medical name) you are currently drinking. Your doctor may start you on a lower dose or lower it gradually. Do not stop taking your medication without consulting your doctor's prescription.How Lasix 40mg tablet works: Lasix 40mg tablet blocks a substance in the body that causes an accumulation of fluid, which is then driven back into the kidneys by a decrease in urine output. It does this by swelling the kidneys and increasing the production of a urine containing electrolytes called sodium and potassium. This process leads to an increase in blood pressure and causes edema (fluid accumulation in the body), which is a serious side effect of Lasix 40mg tablet. If you experience symptoms such as swelling in your face, eyes, tongue or very little in the blood, get medical attention immediately. A lower dose of Lasix 40mg tablet may be used instead of a higher dose of furosemide.
