Furosemide (Generic) Tabletsare a prescription medication used in dogs and cats to treat edema (fluid retention) and congestive heart failure. They belong to a class of medications called diuretics, which help the body remove excess fluid by increasing urine production. Furosemide tablets are available in various strengths and are typically given orally one to three times a day, as directed by a veterinarian. Furosemide is a potent diuretic that helps the body eliminate excess fluid, making it useful in the treatment of edema and congestive heart failure. Available in tablet form for easy oral administration to dogs and cats, furosemide is a prescription medication and should only be used under the guidance of a veterinarian. The dosage of furosemide varies depending on the pet's weight, condition, and other factors, so it is important to follow the veterinarian's instructions carefully. While generally safe when used as directed, furosemide can cause side effects such as increased thirst, increased urination, and electrolyte imbalances.
Furosemide (Generic) Tablets are indicated for the treatment of edema (fluid retention) associated with congestive heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease in dogs and cats. They are also used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) in some cases. Furosemide works by increasing the production of urine, which helps to remove excess fluid from the body. It is important to follow the veterinarian's instructions carefully when using furosemide to ensure its effectiveness and safety. While generally safe when used as directed, furosemide was observed to increase the time to first dosing in some cases, the time it took to increase the dose should be conservative and may be increased if necessary.
Furosemide (Generic) Tablets work as a diuretic by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys. This action prevents the reabsorption of water, leading to increased urine production and the elimination of excess fluid from the body. By reducing the volume of fluid in the bloodstream, furosemide helps to decrease the workload on the heart and improve symptoms of edema, such as swelling and difficulty breathing, in conditions like congestive heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease.
Common side effects of furosemide (Generic) tablets include increased thirst, decreased blood pressure, vomiting, and electrolyte imbalances. These side effects are usually mild and may go away on their own within a few days of treatment or may get severe if you continue treatment.
Furosemide (brand name Furosemide) is a diuretic, used to treat edema (fluid retention) of the lower back, also known as the diuretic-type edema.

This diuretic helps reduce symptoms of edema by decreasing the frequency of urination.
Furosemide (brand name Furosemide) can also be used to treat fluid retention, which is the excess accumulation of fluid in the lower back or abdomen. This is when excess fluid is the cause of fluid retention.

Tablet - white to off white, flat, uncoated tablets with beveled edges, debossed ''I21A'' on one side and breakline on the other side.Therapeutic indications: Furosemide is a potent diuretic with rapid action. Furosemide tablets are indicated for:• The treatment of fluid retention associated with heart failure, including left ventricular failure, cirrhosis of the liver and renal disease, including nephrotic syndrome. • The treatment of mild to moderate hypertension when brisk diuretic response is required. Alone or in combination with other anti-hypertensive agents in the treatment of more severe cases.FeaturesNature and contents of container:• Polypropylene containers, with snap-on polythene lids, with integral tear-off security lids OR Glass bottles with screw caps with sternan faced liner: 1000, 500, 250, 100, 84, 70,54,42,28,21,15 and 14 tablets.• Blister strips (strips composed of aluminium foil and PVdC coated PVC film): 14, 15,21,28,42,56, 70 and 84 tablets. Special precautions for storage:• Container pack: Do not store above 25°C. Keep the container tightly closed.• Keep the container in the outer carton.• Bottle pack: Do not store above 25°C. Keep the bottle tightly closed. Keep the bottle in the outer carton.• Blister pack: Do not store above 25°C. Store in the original package in order to protect from light
Therapeutic indications:• Population-based cross-sectional study: Patients with advanced-stage acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with a survival rate of more than 4 weeks from initial thselling [-] were randomly assigned to used 25 mg furosemide or 500 mg tablet once daily for 4 weeks. • Evaluate cardiovascular safety in patients who have reached risk of falls.• Population-based case control study: We compared the cardiovascular safety of 500 mg tablet once daily with furosemide 500 mg on the first day of hospitalisation in patients with acute heart failure. Acommodations with furosemide were not statistically different.WarningsThe administration of furosemide should be limited to 5 to 7 days before the expected clinical event. If an adverse reaction is suspected diuretic dosage should be reduced to one tablet twice daily. Renal and hepatic impairment: The furosemide drug should be administered with caution in patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment. In severely immuno-oncological renal impairment may be more commonly seen with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Excessive diuresisFurosemide tablets should be administered with caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Immediate medical attention should be sought in these patients.Side effectsThe following symptoms and/or findings from the examination andexcept in exceptional cases vasodilatation, ankles and range of motion, dizziness and visual impairment were reported. These may be permanent or temporary. Severe renal or hepatic impairment: Signs and symptoms of renal and hepatic dysfunction (such as altered mental status, confusion, weakness, rapid weight loss, hallucinations, prolonged and significant urination, pulmonary edema, severe abdominal pain, severe altered blood pressure, positive blood pressure test) were reported in case reports and package inserts. Rarely, in patients with a history of acute heart failure there was a prolonged QT interval (cirrhosis of the lung or severe bradycardia). Rarely, in patients with a history of cirrhosis serious allergic reactions, including a rash and/or hives, which could be severe and life-threatening, were reported. In order to prevent acute liver failure the use of furosemide in severely immuno-oncological renal impairment is recommended.PrecautionsThe following precautions are recommended when administering furosemide. Due to the potential for excessive furosemide intake, patients should be observed closely when the required dose of furosemide is administered by light or automatic medicine-feeding (see Warnings and Precautions).• Patients with the following conditions on the New Drug Application (NDOAE) should be carefully monitored for:• The return of clinical worsening, in particular worsening on diuretic therapy, should be reported to their doctor;• In patients who have recently received prior thselling, in particular those with severe hepatic dysfunction• Monitor patients for the development of vein thrombosis, pulmonary venous thrombosis and other serious systemic conditions• Discontinue calcium and vitamin A therapy in patients who have previously responded to oral anticoagulants.1.
