Therapeutic indications: This is an example of a publication that was not published with the title "Handout for Animal Toxicology". A few species of dog and cat are known to survive and are recommended to consult their veterinarian. veterinarianDosage:• Use only for the treatment of fluid retention associated with heart failure/right ventricular dysfunction, cirrhosis of the liver and renal disease, anti-hypertensive or other anti-inflammatory agent.• If anti-inflammatory agent is required for a long enough period of time than treatment is indicated as a daily daily low dose anti-hypertensive step.• If anti-inflammatory agent for a short enough time than daily step therapy. Do not use in cases of severe heart failure/existing severe liver or kidney impairment. If treatment is for a dog or cat Do not rely on the veterinarian if pet does not recover after treatment step 2.Further/Preview WARNINGSalliative care(blood and urine tests)Dosing:
The recommended dose of furosemide for dogs and cats is one 50 mg tablet taken by mouth once daily. For the treatment of edema/swelling in humans with heart failure/pulmonary arterial hypertensionFurosemide tablets are indicated for use in dogs and cats as recommended by the FDA. Edema/swelling in dogs and cats is generally considered a contraindication to use furosemide tablets. In order to minimise drug interaction do not use with acetylsalicylic acid or other palliative measures. Use caution in patients with pre-existing cardiac diseaseDo not use in patients who have experienced cardiac death before and in patients with a pre-existing left ventricular dysfunction (see section 4.4). If heart failure is a sole condition furosemide tablets are contraindicated in patients with severe congestive heart failure (NYHA II heart failure) or pulmonary arterial hypertension. Parenteral administration of furosemide should be avoided with other anti-hypertensive agents as it may cause hypotension, potentially resulting in discontinuation of treatment. Palliative treatment is generally considered not required if the initial dose is 50 mg daily for 5 days then 100 mg daily for 7 days, or 2.5 mg daily for 5 days. If heart failure is a sole condition in which acetylsalicylic acid was recommended as an anti-hypertensive step, the lowest dose of furosemide tablets required to treat angina (newly diagnosed chest pain) or hypertension, potassium-sparing diuretics, including furosemide, should be administered regularly. Administration should begin as early as possible in the first 6 hours following data collection. Acetylsalicylic acid may therefore start to be recommended as an anti-hypertensive dose different than the initial dose.
Notethat as the title of the publication implied that furosemide tablets should be used alone do not need to be used with palliative measures.
Furosemide works by relaxing blood vessels in the lungs, increasing blood flow to the lungs and reducing the workload of the heart.
For adults and children over the age of 6, taking Furosemide is safe and should be used only under close medical supervision.
If you have any questions about taking Furosemide, please call the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Furosemide is a loop diuretic. Its mechanism of action is to block a substance in the kidneys, which results in a reduction in urine production and a reduction in urine output.
When used as directed by your doctor, Furosemide should be taken with food. Take it at the same time each day. Do not miss a dose. Follow your doctor’s instructions.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at the same time.
The tablets are taken with water. Swallow the tablets whole, without crushing or breaking.
You should not take more than one dose of Furosemide in 24 hours. You can take a single dose of Furosemide in advance or for the next day.
The daily dose is based on the weight of the person taking the drug and the condition being treated. To help you remember, take the tablet at the same time each day. Do not double your dose to catch up with your regular dosing schedule.
Always take the dose as directed by your doctor. Do not take more than the recommended dose. A missed dose of Furosemide can cause stomach upset and other side effects.
Do not stop taking Furosemide without consulting your doctor. Stopping Furosemide suddenly can cause kidney problems.
If you are elderly, pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before taking Furosemide. Your doctor may check your kidney function while you are taking Furosemide.
