Page 1 of 5 NEW ZEALAND CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION DIURIN 40 _FUROSEMIDE TABLETS 40 MG_ WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET This leaflet answers some common questions about DIURIN. It does not contain all the information available on this medicine. It does not take the place of talking to your doctor or pharmacist. All medicines have risks and benefits. Your doctor has weighed the risks of you taking DIURIN against the benefits they expect it will have for you. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT USING THIS MEDICINE, ASK YOUR DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST. KEEP THIS LEAFLET WITH THE MEDICINE. You may want to read it again. WHAT DIURIN IS USED FOR AND HOW IT WORKS Your DIURIN tablets contain the active ingredient furosemide. It belongs to a group of medicines known as diuretics. These medicines reduce the amount of excess fluid in the body by increasing the amount of urine produced. DIURIN is used to treat patients with oedema (swelling of the ankles, feet, leg or even the brain or lungs due to excess fluid) caused by various conditions such as congestive heart failure, liver or kidney problems. DIURIN is also used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Everyone has blood pressure. This pressure helps move your 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, including stroke, heart disease and kidney failure. It may be used alone or in combination with other medicines to treat this condition. Your doctor may, however, prescribe DIURIN for another reason. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why DIURIN has been prescribed for you. There is no evidence that DIURIN is addictive. DIURIN is only available on prescription from your doctor.

Page 1 of 11 NEW ZEALAND DATA SHEET DIURIN 40 1. PRODUCT NAME Diurin 40, 40 mg, tablet. 2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each tablet contains 40 mg of furosemide. Contains lactose. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Tablets, 40 mg: Off-white flat bevel edged tablet 7. 1 mm diameter, imprinted “F” scoreline “40” on one side, blank on the other side. 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS _4.1 _ _THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS _ OEDEMA Diurin is indicated in adults, infants and children for the treatment of oedema associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver and renal disease including the nephrotic syndrome. Diurin is particularly useful when an agent with greater diuretic potential than that of those commonly employed is desired. HYPERTENSION Diurin 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 Diurin alone. _4.2 _ _DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION _ OEDEMA Therapy should be individualised according to patient’s response. This therapy should be titrated to gain maximal therapeutic response with the minimum dose possible to maintain that diuretic response. The usual initial daily dose is 20 to 80 mg given as a single dose. If the diuretic response to a single dose of 20 to 80 mg is not satisfactory, increase this dose by increments of 20 to 40 mg, not sooner than 6 to 8 hours after the previous dose, until the desired diuretic effect is obtained. This individually determined dose should be given once or twice (e.g. at 8 am and 2 pm) daily. The dose of furosemide may be carefully titrated up to 400 mg/day (except in advanced renal failure) in those patients with Page 2 of 11 severe clinical oedematous states. The mobilisation of oedema may be most efficiently and safely accomplished by giving furosemide on 2 to 4 consecutive days each week. When doses exceeding 80 m Διαβάστε το πλήρες έγγραφο
