Treatment of edema (fluid retention) associated with congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and kidney disorders. It may also be used for fluid buildup in the lungs (pulmonary edema).
As a loop diuretic, Furoscix acts on the kidneys to prevent reabsorption of sodium and chloride, promoting water and electrolyte loss through increased urine output.
May cause dehydration, electrolyte imbalances (low potassium, sodium), and dizziness. Patients should be monitored for blood pressure changes and kidney function. Not recommended during pregnancy unless clearly needed. Avoid alcohol and monitor for interactions with other medications including other diuretics, blood pressure drugs, and NSAIDs.
