WHAT FUROSEMIDE TABLETS ARE AND WHAT ARE THEY USED
FOR
Furosemide Tablets contain furosemide as the active ingredient. This
belongs to a
group of medicines called diuretics (also called water tablets).
Furosemide Tablets
are used to treat oedema (fluid retention) caused by heart failure,
mild to moderate
hypertension (high blood pressure) and certain liver and kidney
disorders. They are
also used to manage a condition called oliguria where the body
produces an
abnormally small amount of urine, due to kidney disease.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
In the treatment of oedema associated with congestive heart failure,
cirrhosis of the
liver, renal disease including nephrotic syndrome.
In the treatment of peripheral oedema due to mild to moderate
hypertension (alone, or
in combination with other antihypertensive agents in the treatment of
more severe
cases).
Management of oliguria due to acute or chronic renal insufficiency.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Adults: The usual initial daily dose is 40mg. This may require
adjustment until the
effective dose is achieved. In mild cases 20mg daily or 40mg on
alternate days may
be sufficient, whereas in cases of resistant oedema daily doses of
80mg and above
may be used.
In patients with chronic renal insufficiency, an initial daily dose of
250mg is
employed. If a satisfactory diuresis is not produced then the dose may
be increased in
steps of 250mg at four to six hourly intervals up to a maximum daily
dose of 1,500
mg in 24 hours. In exceptional cases up to 2,000 mg in 24 hours may be
given.
Children: The oral dose for children ranges from 1-3mg/kg body weight
daily, up to a
maximum total dose of 40mg per day.
Elderly: The usual adult dose, but caution is advised as furosemide is
excreted more
slowly in the elderly. The dosage should be titrated until the
required response is
achieved.
Method of administration: Oral – the tablets should be swallowed
with water.
