Oedema Frusemide 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. 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 the intravenous or intramuscular route. Parenteral use should be replaced with oral frusemide as soon as practical.,Hypertension Oral Frusemide 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 frusemide alone.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR
The name of your medicine is
IPCA-FRUSEMIDE
. It contains the active ingredient frusemide.
Frusemide belongs to a family of drugs called diuretics. A diuretic
helps reduce the amount
of excess fluid in the body by increasing the amount of urine
produced.
Frusemide is used to treat swelling of the ankles, feet, legs or even
the brain or lungs. This
swelling is called oedema and can occur in some heart, lung, liver or
kidney conditions.
Frusemide may be used in some patients with more serious kidney

some fluid retention.
