What is Furosemide?
Active Ingredients: Furosemide
Furosemide Injection is a drug used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) by reducing extra fluid in the body. Fluid retention may be caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease. Reducing excess fluid in the body will lessen symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling.
Injections of Furosemide are typically given if oral medication is not possible or in emergency situations.
Furosemide is classified as a loop diuretic. It works by helping the kidneys get rid of extra salt and water.
