PRESCRIPTION DRUG
Edema FUROSEMIDE TABLET is indicated in adults and pediatric patients for the treatment of edema associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and renal disease, including the nephrotic syndrome. FUROSEMIDE TABLET is particularly useful when an agent with greater diuretic potential is desired. Hypertension Oral FUROSEMIDE TABLET 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 TABLETS alone. FUROSEMIDE TABLET is contraindicated in patients with anuria and in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to furosemide.
FUROSEMIDE TABLET 20 mg are supplied as white, round tablets in Bottles of 100 (NDC 64125-116-01), and 1000 (NDC 64125-116-10).

FUROSEMIDE- FUROSEMIDE TABLET REDPHARM DRUG, INC. ---------- SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION Rx only WARNING FUROSEMIDE TABLETS is a potent diuretic which, if given in excessive amounts, can lead to a profound diuresis with water and electrolyte depletion. Therefore, careful medical supervision is required and dose and dose schedule must be adjusted to the individual patient's needs. (See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.) DESCRIPTION FUROSEMIDE TABLET is a diuretic which is an anthranilic acid derivative. FUROSEMIDE TABLET for oral administration contain furosemide as the active ingredient and the following inactive ingredients: lactose anhydrous NF, magnesium stearate NF, starch NF, microcrystalline cellulose NF, sodium starch Glycolate NF, and colloidal silicon dioxide NF. Chemically, it is 4-chloro-N-furfuryl-5- sulfamoylanthranilic acid. FUROSEMIDE TABLET is available as white tablets for oral administration in dosage strengths of 20, 40 and 80 mg. Furosemide is a white to off-white odorless crystalline powder. It is practically insoluble in water, sparingly soluble in alcohol, freely soluble in dilute alkali solutions and insoluble in dilute acids. The CAS Registry Number is 54-31-9. It has a molecular formula of C12H11ClN2O5S and a molecular weight of 330.75. The molecular structure is as follows: [furosemide structure] CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Investigations into the mode of action of FUROSEMIDE TABLET have utilized micropuncture studies in rats, stop flow experiments in dogs and various clearance studies in both humans and experimental animals. It has been demonstrated that FUROSEMIDE TABLET inhibits primarily the absorption of sodium and chloride not only in the proximal and distal tubules but also in the loop of Henle. The high degree of efficacy is largely due to the unique site of action. The action on the distal tubule is independent of any inhibitory effect on carbonic anhydrase and aldosterone. Recent evidence suggests that furosemide glucuronide is the only or at least the major biotransformation product of furos Les hele dokumentet
