WHAT UREMIDE IS USED
FOR
Uremide contains furosemide
(frusemide), which belongs to a
family of medicines called diuretics.
A diuretic helps reduce the amount of
excess fluid in the body by increasing
the amount of urine produced.
Uremide 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
Uremide may be used in some
patients with more serious kidney
problems who may have some fluid
retention.
Uremide may also be used to lower
high blood pressure (which is also
called hypertension).
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.
Uremide may be taken alone or in
combination with other medicines to
treat your condition.
Your doctor may have prescribed
Uremide for another purpose.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY UREMIDE HAS
BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR YOU.
Uremide is only available with a
doctor's prescription.
This medicine is not addictive.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
OEDEMA
Furosemide (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. Furosemide (frusemide) is particularly useful when an agent
with greater diuretic potential
than that of those commonly employed is desired.
HYPERTENSION
Furosemide (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
furosemide (frusemide) 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.
_ADULTS _
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
(frusemide) may be carefully titrated up to 400 mg/day (except in
advanced renal failure) in those
patients with severe clinical oedematous states. The mobilisation o
