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.

Lasix Injection is a diuretic medication used to treat conditions such as fluid retention and heart failure. It belongs to the class of medications known as loop diuretics.
Lasix Injection is an oral medication administered in the form of a Lasix injection. It is primarily used for the management of conditions like heart failure, edema (swelling caused by fluid retention), and high blood pressure. This injection comes in two forms:
Lasix Injection contains a combination of two active ingredients: Furosemide (as furosemide) and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (as sodium bicarbonate). Furosemide is a loop diuretic that inhibits the absorption of sodium, a component of the urine that serves as a reservoir for salt and water to pass through the body. It is important to note that Lasix injection is an oral medication. The injection must be administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional to ensure proper dosing and minimize potential side effects.
Lasix Injection offers several advantages in managing various conditions, including fluid retention and heart failure, as well as various health conditions such as hypertension, renal disease, and diabetic nephropathy. It is especially beneficial for patients with existing health issues or those who have concerns about the effectiveness of Lasix injection therapy.
Lasix Injection works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium, a salt that is crucial in the kidneys. By doing so, it reduces the amount of sodium in the bloodstream and, in some cases, allows the kidneys to eliminate excess fluid. This allows the body’s urine to pass more easily, making it easier to urinate. By doing so, Lasix Injection effectively reduces swelling, allowing patients to urinate more easily.
Lasix Injection is a diuretic medication that works by removing excess fluid from the body. It does this by blocking the reabsorption of sodium. This process helps to remove excess fluid from the body more easily. Lasix Injection is administered intravenously, and its administration can be done under the supervision of a healthcare professional. This medication is available in both oral and intravenous forms, ensuring that the dosage and duration of treatment can be optimized.
Lasix Injection is suitable for adult patients with severe renal impairment. Patients with edema (swelling caused by dehydration or hypertension) or those with congestive heart failure or those with severe edema (swelling due to fluid overload) are not candidates for this medication. Lasix injection is also suitable for those with a history of allergic reactions to sulfa drugs, such as sulfasalazine or furosemide, or a history of kidney disease.
While Lasix Injection is generally well-tolerated, it can cause some common side effects, such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, or allergic reactions. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as prolonged QT interval, myocardial infarction, or sudden death have been reported. If you experience any serious side effects, such as difficulty breathing, changes in vision, or severe liver toxicity, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
The duration of treatment with Lasix Injection varies based on the patient’s condition and the dosage prescribed. It can last for several days to weeks, although this can vary depending on the individual and the underlying cause of fluid retention and heart failure. It is important to remember that Lasix Injection should not be discontinued abruptly without medical advice.
