Product description: Furosemide 100 mg is a loop diuretic (water pill), which is prescribed to patients with water retention (oedema) due to heart failure. The same medication is also prescribed for high blood pressure, typically together with other medications. Available in 20 mg, 40 mg, 80 mg, and 100 mg, it is sold under the brand name Lasix in the United States and under various other labels in other countries.
In case of heart failure, the heart works less efficiently, which causes fluid to leak out and be retained in the extremities or in some of the internal organs; Furosemide 100 mg increases the amount of urine, which prevents the fluid retention.
Safety information: before taking Furosemide 100 mg, inform your doctor of all health problems that you have. Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription and over the counter medications, as well as herbal remedies and vitamin supplements that you are taking as well.
If you are dehydrated, have urine passing problems, suffer from diabetes or gout, and if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, you should let your pharmacist or doctor know. Patients with kidney or prostatic problems might not be able to take this medication or if prescribed, the treatment should be carefully supervised by the doctor.
Side effects: Furosemide 100 mg can cause various side effects. The most commonly reported adverse reactions are headache, diarrhea, constipation, stomach cramps, pain, burning, numbness, blurred vision, and dizziness. More serious side effects, which require immediate medical attention are nausea, vomiting, weakness, drowsiness, dry mouth, easy bruising, inability to urinate, dark urine, fever, or loss of appetite. If you experience severe or persistent adverse reactions, call your doctor and schedule an appointment.
Where to buy online: Furosemide 100mg and all other available doses could be purchased from various web sites at discounted price. The generics are available under numerous labels, and different packaging than the branded pills, but they contain the same main chemical ingredient. Do not use different brand or strength before speaking to your doctor or pharmacists, and follow his directions when taking the pills.
If you miss a dose, take one as soon as you remember. Your blood will have to be tested on regular bases in order to monitor your response to the medication, and your liver and kidney function might have to be tested as well. If you are dehydrated during the treatment, ask your doctor about the available potassium supplements. |
Furosemide 100 mg reviews:
- Only started using Furosemide 100 mg last Friday, but already noticed a big difference. So far, haven’t had a single bad reaction, and as long as I remember to take the pill in the morning, everything is OK. (Charles B. White).
- At first, I started taking another diuretic, but it gave me side effects, which were unbearable – I had a very bad rash, and had to go back to my doctor, who switched me to Furosemide 100 mg. Furosemide worked very well and apart from the slight discomfort (faint stomach ache), I took it with no problems. (Todd N. Solomon).
- I’ve been suffering from swelling in my legs and that swelling was so bad that I could hardly stand on them. Started taking Furosemide 100mg about a week later and a few days later, I was already feeling better. (David C. Unzueta).
- My therapy began with 20 mg when needed, then 40 mg per day, and finally Furosemide 100 mg. So far, I am taking the pills quite well, and the swelling in my feet is almost gone. (Andra A. Tomlin).
- My doctor put me on Lasix, but I decided to buy generic Furosemide 100 mg since they are quite cheaper. I have been taking them for a week and the swelling is down by 50%, so it looks like they worked exactly as expected. (Shirley M. Solomon).
