Furosemideis a diuretic used to lower blood pressure in dogs. It is most commonly used as a diuretic for dogs suffering from congestive heart failure, hypertension (high blood pressure) or other high blood pressure.
The dosage of Furosemide depends on the condition being treated. It should not be used by dogs that are dehydrated due to the blood being drawn from the body. If a dogs breathing problem is present, Furosemide should be withdrawn. If an electrolyte imbalance has not been treated, Furosemide may be used.
Furosemide works by blocking the effects of sodium and chloride (which are essential salts in the body) on the kidneys, resulting in the increased blood flow to the kidneys.
By preventing the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys, Furosemide reduces the excretion of water.
Most dogs who take Furosemide do not experience any side effects. However, some dogs do experience some side effects which are not listed here. See for further details.
Furosemide can be prescribed as an adjunct to other medications, especially to anti-arrhythmics or heart rhythm medications.
If you miss a dose of Furosemide, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose.
Furosemide is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding animals. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your veterinarian before taking this medication.
If you experience any severe symptoms such as skin rash, swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, hives, or difficulty breathing, stop taking Furosemide and seek immediate medical attention.
Avoid drinking alcohol with Furosemide and continue taking it as prescribed until the condition is better. If alcohol makes your skin more sensitive to the sun, it may help to avoid sun exposure and use a protective clothing. If your skin becomes more sensitive, seek medical help immediately.
Follow your veterinarian’s prescribed dosage and administration instructions carefully. Do not use Furosemide for longer than recommended.
Furosemide is not suitable for use in animals with liver disease or a known hypersensitivity to Furosemide.
Do not use Furosemide for prolonged periods.
Furosemide should not be used during pregnancy, as it is likely to harm the developing baby. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss the use of Furosemide with your veterinarian.
Furosemide belongs to a group of medicines called diuretics (which increase the production of urine) and is used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and oedema (a build-up of fluid in the body). Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high. The higher this blood pressure, the harder the heart has to pump. As a result, it leads to heart disease, irregular heartbeat, and other complications. Oedema may occur in cases of high blood pressure where fluids of the body get trapped in the tissues of the hands, arms, feet, ankles, and legs, leading to swelling.
Furosemide works by increasing the amount of urine that is passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease. This reduces the workload on the heart and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke.
Your doctor will advise your dose and how often you need to take this medication based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience dehydration, headache, nausea, or dizziness. Most of these side effects of Furosemide do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
Do not take it if you are allergic to furosemide or any other components present in Furosemide. Try not to stop taking Furosemide of your own. Let your doctor know about this, as it may cause a rise in blood pressure and can increase the risk of getting heart disease and stroke. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from any kidney or liver, or heart disease. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of Furosemide can be prescribed accordingly. The most common adverse effect of furosemide is having to pee more frequently than usual. To minimise needing to get out of bed to pee, avoid taking this medication within 4 hours of going to bed.
Your doctor will decide the correct time to take Furosemide depending on your medical condition. If you are taking furosemide or not, your doctor will monitor your progress and may adjust the dosage if necessary. It is important that you urinate more often than you do when taking Furosemide, since the medication may cause sharp decreases in blood pressure. If you do feel better or not feel better, please consult your doctor so that they decide the correct dosage of Furosemide based on the progress you make. Most cases of oedema occur within 14 days. If you are uncomfortable urinating or think that you have lost consciousness, please consult your doctor. Your doctor will monitor your progress and will also need to dispose of your medication properly. You will still need to take furosemide.Your doctor will advise you how much you need to take Furosemide based on your medical condition.Furosemide of your own may cause a high blood pressure side effect such as dizziness, especially when you are on high blood pressure.
