الخصائص العلاجية:

Oedema: Adults and children. Treatment of oedema associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver and renal disease, including the nephrotic syndrome. Frusemide is particularly useful when an agent with greater diuretic potential than that of those commonly employed is desired. Parenteral therapy with frusemide should be reserved for patients unable to take oral medication or for patients in emergency clinical situations. If gastrointestinal absorption is impaired or oral medication is not practical for any reason, frusemide is indicated by intravenous or intramuscular route. Parenteral use should be replaced with oral Frusax as soon as practical. Hypertension: Adults. Oral Frusax may be used in adults for the treatment of hypertension alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents. Hypertensive patients who cannot be adequately controlled with thiazides will probably also not be adequately controlled with Frusax alone.

What Frusax
™
is used for
Frusax™ is a water tablet (or diuretic).
It may be taken alone, or together with
other medicines.
One of its uses is to help reduce the
amount of water in the body for people
who have:

swelling of the ankles, feet and legs,
which doctors call oedema

swelling of the stomach area due to
liver disease.
Frusax™ also helps lower high blood
pressure, which doctors call hypertension.
Everyone has blood pressure. This
pressure helps circulate the blood around
your body. Your blood pressure may be
different at different times of the day,
depending on how busy or worried you
are. You have hypertension (high blood
pressure) when your blood pressure stays
higher than is needed, even when you
are calm and relaxed.
If high blood pressure
is not treated it
can lead to serious health problems
such as stroke, heart disease and
kidney failure. Frusax™ helps to lower
your blood pressure.
Frusax™ works by making your kidneys
pass more water and salt. This helps
reduce high blood pressure and some
forms of swelling.
Your doctor may prescribe Frusax™ for
another reason.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions
about why Frusax™ has been prescribed
for you.
There is no evidence that Frusax™ is
addictive.
