I was prescribed furosemide and my doctor prescribed a daily dose of 10mg (2.2ml) of the water-soluble salt (S2-furosemide). I also took my meds to the hospital, but there were some side effects. I have noticed that I get dizzy when I drink it and this usually goes away within a week of starting it. I have to keep taking them because it’s a common problem. I have had to stop taking them after a while because I had to take them with water. I’m not sure why this happened, and why the dose I was prescribed was so high. I’ve asked my doctor about it but he said it’s not possible and that I would need to take them to see if they could help me. He recommended a different medication. I’ve read that some people get dizzy with these meds, but I don’t know what to do. The side effects of the furosemide are not so bad, but they can be so bad that they make them worse. I’m not sure if it’s just because I’m not feeling well enough, or if I’ve been on my own lately. I’m also not sure if I need to take the medication in the morning, as I’m not sure if I’ll get any results, and I’ve been taking it for about 6 months. I’m worried about my kidney condition, as I can only take water for it. It was my first time taking furosemide, so I’m nervous to take it now.
I’m also not sure if I’ll get any results, and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get pregnant while taking it, though I know the effects will be. I’ve had some mild reactions to the water, but it is hard to tell if it’s normal or if there’s more to it. I also know that the water doesn’t mix well with my medication, and I’ve tried to get in contact with the pharmacist, but that’s been a problem.
I know that water is the cause of most of my problems, but I also know that the water-soluble salt can have side effects, so I have to be careful when taking it, especially if I’m pregnant. I have a high blood pressure that I can’t get through to my kidneys, so I’m not sure if I should take the medication. I’m not sure if I need to take it anymore. I’m worried about the kidneys getting too weak, and I’m also worried about the side effects. I don’t want to take this drug, as I’m going to lose my kidneys. I also know that I have to make sure that I’m drinking enough water and taking the medication are safe, so I’m concerned about my kidney health.
My doctor is always right, and he is the one who is trying to help. He has been helping me with my kidney health issues, and has helped me with many other things, so I’m taking the medication and I’m hoping that he is OK with it. I’ve read that the side effects are usually minor, but I have a lot of questions about how to manage these side effects. Is it possible to treat them without taking the medication? Are there other options?
Thanks for your answers.
I know there are different medications, but I’m concerned about the side effects. The most common ones are the dizziness, and I have been on my own since my kidney problems started. I was taking them at a time I needed to make sure that I was getting enough fluid and that I didn’t get too high. The dose was increased by 5 mg, and I had to stop the meds immediately to take them. I also have some side effects. I’m not sure if I should take it with water. If it’s normal for you to have these side effects, it’s just a big adjustment. I don’t want to take it. I also know that it’s not easy to find the right medication, and I don’t want to get any side effects. I’m worried about my kidney condition and I’m worried about my liver problems, and I know I’m not going to get any side effects.
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.
£0.08Furosemide Tablets 20mg are indicated for the treatment of oedema associated with cardiac insufficiency, renal dysfunction, and trauma in cats and dogs. Furosemide is the most commonly used...
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.
