Lasix 40mg tablet contains an active ingredient called Furosemide which belongs to the medication class known as diuretics. It is used to treat edema (excessive water accumulation) and high blood pressure. Edema can be caused by various underlying issues such as heart, lung, kidney, or liver problems. This helps the kidneys to remove excess water, which is not needed by the body.
Lasix 40mg tablet should not be taken if you are allergic to Furosemide or other sulphonamide-related medicines or any of the ingredients in the medication. Also, do not consume if you have anuria, impaired kidney function or kidney failure, severe kidney damage, very low levels of potassium, sodium, or other electrolytes, dehydration, low blood pressure, take potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics, have liver cirrhosis or liver encephalopathy, suffer from Addison's disease, have digitalis poisoning, or if you are breastfeeding.
Before starting the treatment with Lasix 40mg tablet, notify your doctor if you have hypovolaemia (low blood volume) or risk of low blood pressure, hypoproteinaemia (low levels of blood protein) due to kidney damage, liver congestion or other liver problems, kidney problems, diabetes or insulin use, advanced age or medications that lower blood pressure, prostate issues or difficulty in urinating, history of gout or abnormal blood condition, and upcoming blood or urine tests.
You should know that Lasix 40mg tablet is only used as needed and it is advised to keep in a cool dry place. It should not be taken if you are allergic to this active ingredient or any other substances. Also, do not overdose on this medication. Consult your doctor if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.How it is takenLasix 40mg tablet works by reducing the production of a free water salt that leads to a fall in blood pressure. This reduces the likelihood of reducing high blood pressure and reduces the risk of reducing this risk as it can be used to lower high blood pressure in patients who have experienced this by increasing the dosage of Lasix 40mg tablet, taking it orally with food or milk, usually in the form of a tablet. This medication does not prevent kidney damage as it does not act on edema caused by heart diseases such as heart failure or high blood pressure.
The dosage of Lasix 40mg tablet may vary depending on the clinical needs and the results of the laboratory tests. Your doctor may then adjust the dosage based on the results of the laboratory tests. Usually, the treatment is usually started within 10 -15 days. If the results do not reach their maximum effectiveness, your doctor may then reduce the dosage to 5 mg per day in two divided doses.
The effects of Lasix 40mg tablet can take several weeks to show results. Therefore, do not take it while you are taking sucralfate or when you are thirsty. If you experience any changes in symptoms like skin rash, swelling of the eyelids, red eyes, or sudden changes in kidney function, then visit medical attention.
How it works: Furosemide (as a diuretic) prevents a fall in blood pressure by increasing the amount of a free water salt in the blood. This leads to a fall in high blood pressure which reduces the likelihood of reducing high pressure and reduces the risk of reducing this risk as it can be used to lower high pressure in patients who have experienced edema (excessive water accumulation) caused by various underlying conditions.Lasix 40mg tablet prevents an irregular heartbeat and reduces the risk of heart failure as it reduces the chance of heart strokes as well as preventing heart attacks in patients who have experienced these conditions previously.
What it means: When Lasix 40mg tablet is used in patients with edema caused by various underlying conditions, it works by reducing the production of a free water salt that leads to a loss of blood volume. This leads to a decrease in the likelihood of reducing high blood pressure and reduction in this risk of developing heart failure.Why it is not working: Lasix 40mg tablet does not cause increased urination as a result of taking it. It only affects the kidneys and the kidneys do not eliminate excess water from the body. Lasix 40mg tablet may cause dehydration in some patients as a side effect. Therefore, do not consume alcohol while using Lasix 40mg tablet.How it is done: Lasix 40mg tablet is taken with or without food. You may take it with or without food. The medication is usually taken once daily at the same time each day. The dosage is usually based on the results of the laboratory tests. Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration of treatment for you depending on your age, body weight, severity of your symptoms, and benefits.Furosemide Tablets are a potent 'loop' diuretic used in the treatment of oedema resulting from cardiac insufficiency, hepatic or renal dysfunction, parasitism, or of a traumatic origin. They are most commonly used as part of the medical management of congestive heart failure and other conditions where the body is retaining too much fluid.
Furosemide Tablets are flat faced, white circular tablets with bevelled edges. They are scored with a half break line for accurate dosing.

Furosemide Tablets 40mg are indicated for the treatment of oedema associated with cardiac insufficiency, renal dysfunction, and trauma in cats and dogs.
Contra-indicationsDo not use in acute glomerular nephritis, in electrolyte diseases, in patients with anuria, or patients that have received excessive doses of cardiac glycosides. Because of the danger of potentiating their toxic effects do not use with aminoglycoside or cephalosporin antibiotics. Allergic reactions have been associated with use with sulphonamides.
Special WarningsThe patient may increase its water intake to compensate for the diuresis. Consideration should be given to restricting water intake if the patient's condition makes such a course appropriate.
Special PrecautionsSpecial precautions for use in animals:Prolonged dosage may on occasions justify potassium supplementation and thus monitoring for hypokalaemia should be considered, especially if the product is used in conjunction with cardiac glycosides.Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the medicinal product to animals:Wear gloves or wash hands immediately after handling tablets. In case of accidental ingestion seek medical attention and show product label and/or pack insert to the doctor.
Adverse ReactionsNone reported
Pregnancy and LactationThe safety of use in pregnancy is not well established and a careful assessment of the likely benefits and potential risks should be made. A deleterious effect on lactation is to be expected, particularly if drinking water is restricted. Furosemide passes into milk, but not to a great extent.
InteractionsPotential interactions with other drugs include ototoxicity with aminoglycosides and nephrotoxicity with cephalosporins. Use in combination with sulphonamide treatment may lead to sulphonamide allergy. There is a possibility of interaction with cardiac glycosides.
Amounts to be Administered and Administration Route5mg/KgBW, one or two times per day. For patients weighing less than 8Kg dosage with the 20mg tablet (which may be halved) is recommended. Avoid overdosage in weak and old patients.
OverdoseDehydration and electrolyte depletion may occur. Monitor and correct, as necessary. Dosage higher than that which is recommended, may cause transitory deafness. Cardiovascular side effects may be observed in weak and old patients following overdose.
Withdrawal PeriodsNone for these species.

Furosemide tablets
Tablets (furosemide) are a class of drugs used to treat fluid retention and swelling caused by various medical conditions. Furosemide is a diuretic medication used to treat conditions such as:
Furosemide tablets can also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Furosemide tablets are a form of diuretic drug used to treat conditions like:
Furosemide tablets work by removing excess water and salt from the body. This helps to reduce fluid retention and swelling.
These tablets work by blocking the effect of sodium and chloride in the kidneys. This makes the body produce more urine.
