About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Lasix 40mg/4ml Injection contains Furosemide, a potent loop diuretic used primarily to treat edema associated with congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and renal disease, including nephrotic syndrome. It acts by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the ascending loop of Henle, promoting increased urine output and thereby reducing fluid accumulation in tissues and blood vessels. This medication is indicated for rapid diuresis in patients requiring prompt fluid removal, such as those with acute pulmonary edema or severe hypertension unresponsive to oral therapy. The injectable form ensures rapid onset of action, making it suitable for inpatient settings where oral administration is not feasible. Dosage and administration should be individualized based on the patient’s clinical condition and response, with careful monitoring of electrolyte levels, renal function, and fluid balance to prevent adverse effects such as hypokalemia, dehydration, and hypotension. Contraindications include anuria and hypersensitivity to furosemide or sulfonamides. Caution is advised in patients with hepatic impairment or electrolyte disturbances. Lasix 40mg/4ml Injection should be administered under medical supervision with appropriate supportive care to optimize therapeutic outcomes and minimize potential risks.

About Furosemide
