Product Description
Lasix (Furosemide)
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM : Furosemide is a potent diuretic (water pill) works by inhibiting the absorption of salt and fluid in the kidney tubules, that leads to profounded extention in urine output (diuresis). It is necessary to supervise treatment as so as the diuretic effect of furosemide can cause body water and electrolyte depletion.
GENERIC AVAILABLE : YES.
PRESCRIPTION : YES.
PREPARATIONS : Tablets: 20mg, 40mg, 80mg. Oral solution: 10 mg/ml.
STORAGE : Should be kept at room temperature in a light resistant container.
PRESCRIBED FOR : Furosemide is a powerful diuretic appointed for the treatment or excessive fluid accumulation
and swelling (edema) of the body arised in case of heart failure, cirrhosis, chronic kidney failure, and nephrotic syndrome.
It can also be used for the treatment of high blood pressure in combination with other blood pressure pills.
For the treatment of H. pylori, 40 mg is appointed once a day in combination with amoxicillin and clarithromycin for 10 days.
Esomeprazole capsules should be applied one hour before meals, swallowed whole and shouldn't be crushed or chewed. Patients with
difficulty swallowing can open the capsule and mix the pellets with applesauce. The applesauce should not be hot and the pellets
should not be chewed or crushed.
PRECAUTIONS : Patients allergic to sulfa may also be allergic to furosemide because they have related chemical structure. In case of kidney failure furosemide shouldn't be applied because it can be a reason of worsening kidney function and even can cause the patient to go into a coma. Though sometimes furosemide is necessary for the treatment of excess fluid accumulation in patients with cirrhosis it can lead to sudden loss of fluid and electrolytes. This drug can also cause decreasing levels of blood potassium, sodium, and magnesium. Low levels of potassium and magnesium can lead to heart rhythm abnormalities, especially in patients already taking digoxin (Lanoxin). Blood levels of uric acid can extend during furosemide treatment, but precipitation of acute gout is rare. Furosemide may enlarge the toxic effect of aminoglycoside antibiotics on the ear, especially in patients with kidney dysfunction. Furosemide decreases the kidney excretion of lithium and can cause lithium toxicity. Furosemide may impair kidney function when accepted in combination with aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is necessary to make for periodic blood test s m onitoring kidney function and electrolytes.
SIDE EFFECTS : The most common side effects are low blood pressure, and water and electrolyte depletion. Rare side effects are jaundice, ringing in ears (tinnitus), light sensitivity, rash, pancreatitis, nausea, abdominal pain, dizziness, anemia, and other blood disorders.
