Furosemide 28 Tablets 40mg

Furosemide 40mg is a potent diuretic, also known as a water pill, used to reduce excess fluid in the body (edema) and treat high blood pressure (hypertension). The specific dosage and 28-tablet quantity are based on a doctor's prescription. 

How it works

• Increases urine production: Furosemide acts on the kidneys to increase the flow of urine, which helps eliminate excess salt and water from the body.
• Reduces fluid buildup: By removing this extra fluid, it can alleviate symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling in the arms, legs, and abdomen.
• Lowers blood pressure: Reducing the total amount of fluid in the body also lowers blood pressure, lessening the strain on the heart and blood vessels. 

Uses

Furosemide 40mg is prescribed for treating fluid retention (edema) caused by several medical conditions, including: 

• Congestive heart failure
• Liver disease, such as cirrhosis
• Kidney disease, including nephrotic syndrome
• High blood pressure (hypertension) 

Important precautions and warnings

• Dehydration risk: Furosemide has a boxed warning from the FDA regarding the risk of dehydration and electrolyte loss. Your doctor will monitor your fluid levels.
• Medical conditions: Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, diabetes, gout, or a bladder disorder, as these can affect how you respond to furosemide.
• Sulfa allergy: Tell your doctor if you have an allergy to sulfa-based medications, as you may also be allergic to furosemide.
• Sun sensitivity: Furosemide can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Avoid unnecessary or prolonged sun exposure, and use protective clothing and sunscreen.
• Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol, as it can increase the risk of side effects, including a severe drop in blood pressure.
• Orthostatic hypotension: This can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting when moving from a sitting or lying position to a standing one. To avoid this, get up slowly. 

Common side effects

Some common side effects of furosemide 40mg include: 

• Increased urination
• Headache, dizziness, or blurred vision
• Muscle cramps or pain
• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation
• Changes in blood mineral levels, such as low potassium (hypokalemia) 

Serious side effects

Immediately contact your doctor or seek emergency medical help if you experience: 

• Hearing loss or ringing in your ears (tinnitus): This can be temporary or permanent.
• Signs of allergic reaction: Hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of your face, tongue, or throat.
• Signs of electrolyte imbalance: Extreme thirst, severe muscle pain, or irregular heartbeat.
• Signs of liver or pancreas problems: Loss of appetite, severe stomach pain, or yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice). 

Drug interactions

Furosemide can interact with other medications. Be sure to inform your doctor about all drugs and supplements you are taking. Notable interactions include: 

• Other blood pressure medications: Can cause dangerously low blood pressure.
• Certain antibiotics (e.g., aminoglycosides): May increase the risk of kidney problems and hearing damage.
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, e.g., ibuprofen): Can reduce the effectiveness of furosemide and increase the risk of kidney problems.
• Lithium: Can increase lithium levels in your blood to dangerous levels.
• Sucralfate: Can make furosemide less effective; take them at least two hours apart.
