WHAT NOUMED
FUROSEMIDE IS USED
FOR
NOUMED FUROSEMIDE tablets
contain the active ingredient
furosemide (frusemide).
Furosemide belongs to a group of
medicines called diuretics ("fluid
tablets"), which are used to reduce
oedema (swelling) by removing fluid
from swollen ankles, feet, legs or
even the brain or lungs.
It is also used to treat hypertension
(high blood pressure) either alone or
in combination with other drugs.
It works in your kidneys by
increasing the amount of urine
produced. This reduces the amount of
excess fluid in the body.
This medicine is available only with
a doctor's prescription.

NOUMED FUROSEMIDE
[FUROSEMIDE (FRUSEMIDE) 40 MG TABLETS]
1. NAME OF THE MEDICINE
Furosemide (frusemide)
2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
NOUMED FUROSEMIDE tablets contain 40 mg of the active ingredient
furosemide (frusemide).
Excipients with known effect: sugars (as lactose monohydrate). For the
full list of excipients, see SECTION
6.1 LIST OF EXCIPIENTS.
3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM
NOUMED FUROSEMIDE 40mg tablets are white, round tablets, slightly
convex with a score notch on one
side.
4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
_OEDEMA _
_Adults_: Treatment of oedema associated with congestive heart
failure, cirrhosis of the liver and renal
disease, including the nephrotic syndrome. NOUMED DUROSEMIDE is
particularly useful when an agent
with greater diuretic potential than that of those commonly employed
is desired.
_HYPERTENSION _
_Adults_: NOUMED FUROSEMIDE tablets 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 NOUMED FUROSEMIDE
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
six to eight 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 NOUMED
FUROSEMIDE may be carefully titrated up to 400 mg/day (except in
advanced renal failure) in those
patients with severe clinical oede
