Furosemide is a loop diuretic used to treat fluid retention (edema) in people with congestive heart failure, liver disease, or a kidney disorder such as nephrotic syndrome. Furosemide is also used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
Furosemide works by increasing the amount of urine the body makes, which helps reduce swelling and symptoms of fluid retention and helps lower high blood pressure. Furosemide tablets are sometimes called water pills as they increase how much you urinate.

Furosemide is a potent diuretic which, if given in excessive amounts, can lead to a profound diuresis with water and electrolyte depletion. Therefore, careful medical supervision is required and dose schedule must be adjusted to the individual patient’s needs

These drugs work by reducing fluid in the body and improving urine production. Diuretics do not cause a decrease in urine output. Instead, they help you to urinate more easily. They are taken orally with food or water. These drugs work by increasing the amount of potassium in the blood. Your doctor will prescribe an oral diuretic or a beta-blocker to treat high blood pressure.

Read moreThe following information is based on an interim report of the results of a large, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of furosemide in patients with a history of hypertension. The authors, based on the analysis of a large number of patients, determined that patients who experienced hypertension had a greater risk of heart-related death in the furosemide group than in the placebo group. They found that the incidence of heart-related death was greater in the furosemide group than in the placebo group. Patients treated with furosemide had an increased risk of death due to heart-related death. However, there were no differences in other outcomes between the groups. Patients treated with furosemide had a significantly higher incidence of coronary artery disease, stroke, or death in patients with hypertension than in the group receiving placebo.
The authors suggest that this study should be considered in patients with hypertension. It is recommended that the authors continue to recommend the use of furosemide in patients with hypertension to reduce the risk of these events.
