Furosemid

Furosemid – 20 mg / 2ml Solution for injection

Furosemid is a diuretic with rapid action. It inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions in the proximal and peripheral tubules of the loop of Henle and as a result, sodium, chloride and water excretion is increased. Urinary excretion of potassium, calcium, magnesium and bicarbonates is also enhanced, while urine pH increases.

Furosemid is indicated in:
• oedemas which happen in congestive heart failure, hepatic cirrhosis, kidney diseases, including nephrotic syndrome;
• localised oedemas (post-traumatic or due to burns).

Furosemid solution for injection is also indicated:
• in acute pulmonary oedemas;
• for the treatment of oliguria, due to renal failure.

Furosemid is efficient in the treatment of hypertension, alone or combined with other antihypertensive drugs. Furosemid is a potent diuretic, with a rapid action and is also especially important in patients where other less potent diuretics, like thiazide diuretics, do not function properly.
