Furosemide

Co-amilofruse tablets are indicated where a prompt diuresis is required. It is of particular value in conditions where potassium conservation is important; congestive cardiac failure, nephrosis, corticosteroid therapy, oestrogen therapy.

Ascites associated with cirrhosis.

LASIX ORAL SOLUTION® (furosemide) is indicated for:  The treatment of edema associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver and renal disease including, nephrotic syndrome, as well as other edematous states amenable to diuretic therapy.

 The control of mild to moderate hypertension, used alone, or in combination with other antihypertensive agents in more severe cases. Hypertensive patients who cannot be adequately controlled with thiazides will probably also not be adequately controllable with LASIX ORAL SOLUTION alone.

1 Pediatrics When administered to children, LASIX ORAL SOLUTION therapy should be instituted in the hospital, in carefully selected patients, under close observation with frequent monitoring of serum electrolytes (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).

The available pediatric data does not allow for a recommendation of a specific age range in this population. 2 Geriatrics Geriatrics (> 65 years of age) Use in the geriatric population is associated with differences in safety. Dose selection for the elderly patients should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of dosage range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal or cardiac function, and the concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Edema Furosemide tablets are indicated in adults and pediatric patients for the treatment of edema associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and renal disease, including the nephrotic syndrome. Furosemide tablets are particularly useful when an agent with greater diuretic potential is desired.

Hypertension Oral furosemide may be used in adults for the treatment of hypertension alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents. Hypertensive patients who cannot be adequately controlled with thiazides will probably also not be adequately controlled with furosemide alone.
