Product Description
Furosemide is primarily used to treat heart failure and pulmonary edema (lung fluid). It is also used to treat some electrolyte imbalances, such as high calcium and high potassium levels.
What is Furosemide?
It is an effective diuretic possessing a wide therapeutic range. Pharmacologically it promotes the rapid removal of abnormally retained extracellular fluids. The rationale for the efficacious use of diuretic therapy is determined by the clinical pathology producing the edema. Salix is indicated for the treatment of edema, (pulmonary congestion, ascites) associated with cardiac insufficiency and acute noninflammatory tissue edema.
Who is Furosemide for?
Dogs, Cats & Horses
Why use Furosemide?
-A diuretic-saluretic for prompt relief of edema.
-A high degree of efficacy, low-inherent toxicity and a high therapeutic index.
-A rapid onset of action and of comparatively short duration.
How does Furosemide work?
Furosemide works by increasing the amount of salt and water that the kidneys remove from the blood. This extra salt and water is then passed out through the urine.
