For the Treatment of Ed (Edema)This product is typically given in a hospital or clinic with the help of a healthcare professional. It is usually given as a single dose or as an adjunct to other medications. Edema is caused by fluid accumulation in the body, which may lead to fluid retention or swelling. Fluid retention is defined as swelling of the ankles, feet, and lower legs. It can be caused by various factors, including certain medical conditions, dehydration, and physical injuries or infections. Edema can be an acute or chronic disease, and may be an adjunct to certain medications. Edema may lead to symptoms such as muscle cramps, backaches, and pain or swelling.
For the Treatment of Heart Failure (Hypotension)This product is usually given as a once-daily injection. It can also be given by injection. This product is often prescribed for short-term treatment in patients with stable heart failure.
Furosemide is a loop diuretic used to treat fluid retention (edema) in people with congestive heart failure, liver disease, or a kidney disorder such as nephrotic syndrome. Furosemide is also used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
Furosemide works by increasing the amount of urine the body makes, which helps reduce swelling and symptoms of fluid retention and helps lower high blood pressure. Furosemide tablets are sometimes called water pills as they increase how much you urinate.
Before using this medicine, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, enlarged prostate, urination problems, cirrhosis or other liver disease, an electrolyte imbalance, high cholesterol, gout, lupus, diabetes, or an allergy to sulfa drugs.

If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using this medicine even if you feel fine. High blood pressure often has no symptoms.
