Frequently asked questions about Furosemide

Furosemide is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure and edema (fluid retention) associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and kidney disease. Furosemide is most effective when taken as a supplemental treatment alongside diet and exercise.

If left untreated, high blood pressure can damage many parts of the body including the heart, brain, blood vessels, and kidneys. This can result in many dangerous issues, such as heart disease, heart failure, heart attack, stroke, vision loss, and kidney failure.

Furosemide is used to treat high blood pressure and edema (fluid retention). Though furosemide helps treat these conditions, it does not cure them. This medication may be prescribed to treat other issues, so ask your doctor if furosemide is right for you.

To ensure this medication is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:

Heart disease High blood pressure Heart rhythm disorder Liver disease Kidney disease Diabetes, gout, or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) An electrolyte imbalance (such as low levels of potassium or magnesium in your blood) A thyroid disorder A breathing disorder such as asthma or emphysema An allergy to sulfa drugs Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant

Furosemide is a diuretic, a kind of drug that combats high blood pressure and fluid retention by causing your body to produce more urine. While stimulating urine production is good for lowering blood pressure and expelling excess liquids, it can also cause you to experience electrolyte imbalances and low blood pressure. If you experience weakness, confusion, or unusual or prolonged dizziness, you should contact your doctor immediately.

While adverse reactions to furosemide are uncommon, some patients who take the drug may experience mild side effects, including diarrhea, constipation, headache, frequent urination, and blurred vision. If your symptoms become severe or do not go away, tell your doctor. In some cases, more severe side effects can be serious. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of the following after taking furosemide: Blisters or peeling skin Rash or hives Fever Ringing of the ears Jaundice of the skin or eyes Difficulty breathing or swallowing Loss of hearing This is not a complete list of side effects. For more information on adverse reactions you may experience while taking furosemide, please visit the National Institutes of Health’s DailyMed webpage.

Furosemide will begin to take effect within 1 to 2 hours of your dose and will generally last for 6 to 8 hours. Make sure to take furosemide exactly as your doctor prescribed. Speak to your doctor before stopping your use of furosemide.

The typical starting dose for adults is 20 to 80 mg given in a single dose. For children, the initial dose is 2 mg per kilogram of body weight, given as a single dose. Your doctor may want to keep track of your blood pressure while you’re taking furosemide.

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at your next regularly scheduled time. Do not take extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.

Furosemide is currently only available via prescription. This means the use of this drug must be authorized by a licensed health care provider.
