Furosemide 40mg Tablets (50 Count)

Title: Furosemide 40mg Tablets (50 Count)

Description:

Furosemide 40mg tablets (50 count) provide rapid, potent, and short-acting diuresis. This “loop” diuretic effectively treats edema associated with various conditions, including: stage IIB-III heart failure, cirrhosis, kidney disease (including nephrotic syndrome), acute left ventricular failure (pulmonary edema), burn-related edema, and arterial hypertension.

Its mechanism of action involves blocking the reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions in the proximal and distal tubules of the nephrons, and in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. This results in significant diuresis, natriuresis, and chloruresis. Increased sodium excretion leads to secondary osmotic water excretion and enhanced potassium ion secretion in the distal renal tubule. Calcium and magnesium excretion also increases. Secondary effects stem from the release of intrarenal mediators and redistribution of intrarenal blood flow. The efficacy of furosemide remains consistent throughout a course of treatment. Consult a physician before use.
