Furosemide is a diuretic drug used to treat edema caused by watery, fluid-rich edema. The drug is used to treat edema in different medical conditions. In this section, we will discuss its use in the treatment of edema in general, edema in particular, and the clinical relevance of this use in a patient with edema due to chronic kidney disease. The clinical relevance of this drug use is that it is not recommended for the management of edema due to chronic kidney disease.
Introduction
The use of diuretics for edema caused by watery, fluid-rich edema is a controversial topic, with no clinical evidence of efficacy. Edema associated with chronic kidney disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, and is the leading cause of hospitalization and the development of chronic kidney disease, which are the most common causes of death. However, edema due to chronic kidney disease is a potentially life-threatening condition, and the drug used in this situation is often inappropriate for this condition.
In this section, we will review the use of diuretics in the treatment of edema due to chronic kidney disease and the clinical relevance of this use in a patient with chronic kidney disease. We will also briefly discuss the use of diuretics in the treatment of edema in general, edema in particular, and the clinical relevance of this use in a patient with chronic kidney disease.
This study was a multi-centre, prospective, double-blind, randomised, randomised study to evaluate the efficacy of diuretics in acute edema related to chronic kidney disease.
This was a double-blind, randomized, double-dummy, placebo-controlled trial in healthy adults with acute or chronic kidney disease. The study was performed at an NHS Clinical Research Centre, Faculty of Medicine, University of Manchester. All subjects had to have their diuretic used before randomisation. The study was conducted in two sites, the University of Manchester Teaching Hospital and the University of Manchester General Hospital, and the research ethics committee of the University of Manchester approved the study.
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.

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.

The safety of pregnancy is not well established and a careful assessment of the likely benefits and potential risks of use should be made. A lack of cross-tolerance and interactions with other drugs means caution is to be given in the treatment of acute oedema.
