Furosemide/Frusemide (Lasix): Diuretic Drug (Water Pill) For Fluid Accumulation and Kidney Disease

https://www.medindia.net/docto....rs/drug_information/

Furosemide is a loop diuretic works by helping the kidneys draw or excrete excess fluid or water and salt from the body.

Furosemide is prescribed for treating edema or fluid accumulation in the body associated with the kidney disease including nephrotic syndrome, congestive heart failure, and liver cirrhosis.

Furosemide is also used to treat high blood pressure. It is highly useful, particularly when a more diuretic potential is required. Furosemide is used as supportive therapy in treating acute pulmonary edema (fluid accumulation in the lungs).

Potassium chloride supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics such as spironolactone or amiloride should be given to avoid the loss of potassium.

Sleep would be disturbed if furosemide is taken at night and therefore should be avoided at night time.
