Furosemide is a diuretic drug commonly used to treat edema and high blood pressure. It causes the body to eliminate excess fluid by preventing the tubules in the kidneys from reabsorbing water and salts. This helps reduce symptoms of edema, such as swelling and difficulty breathing. Furosemide can also help lower blood pressure and reduce the burden on the heart.
In Hong Kong, furosemide is commonly used to treat heart failure, edema caused by cirrhosis, and other conditions that cause fluid retention. When using, you should take the medication accurately according to the doctor's recommendations and avoid sudden discontinuation of medication. Possible side effects include hypokalemia, headache, and fatigue. Blood pressure and electrolyte levels in the blood should be monitored regularly while taking furosemide.
If you have any discomfort or questions, you should consult your doctor promptly. Do not change the dosage of the drug or stop using furosemide on your own, as this may affect the therapeutic effect.
How to use: The drug FRUSEMIDE is usually taken orally, preferably in the morning to avoid multiple urinations during the night. It is best to take it after a meal to reduce the possibility of stomach upset. During the period of taking it, patients should avoid taking too much potassium-containing foods, such as bananas and oranges, to avoid affecting the effect of the drug. At the same time, patients should avoid prolonged exposure to the sun to avoid causing skin sensitivity reactions.
Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is usually 20 to 80 mg, taken once daily or in divided doses. Depending on the patient's specific condition, the doctor may adjust the dosage. For children, dosage is usually based on body weight, with a recommended starting dose of 1 mg/kg body weight taken once daily or in divided doses. Older children may need similar dosages to adults, but be sure to adjust your dosage under your doctor's guidance. In any case, patients should use the drug strictly in accordance with the doctor's instructions and should not adjust the dosage or stop using it on their own.
