Furosemide injection is used in adults and children who cannot take oral medications or in emergency situations to treat edema (fluid retention; excess fluid held in body tissues) caused by various medical problems, including heart failure, pulmonary edema (excess fluid in the lungs), kidney, and liver disease.
Furosemide Injection is a diuretic used for emergency treatment of high blood pressure and edema. It is injected into a vein under the supervision of a doctor and may cause side effects such as dizziness, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance12. It works by causing the kidneys to get rid of unneeded water and salt from the body into the urine2. This medication is commonly used to treat people with excess fluid build-up due to heart failure, liver or kidney disease. It helps your body eliminate extra water and salt through urine, providing relief from symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling in your arms, legs, or abdomen1. Remember that Furosemide Injection should not be self-administered; follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
