ReferencesFurosemide (Furosemide) is a potent diuretic, often used as an injectable salt, and belongs to the class of drugs known as loop diuretics. Furosemide can be used to manage edema, hypertension, or congestive heart failure or to treat fluid retention.
It is used in the treatment of edema (edema of the skin, mucous membranes, and subcutaneous tissue), hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs), and kidney disease (kidney failure).
A large-scale study evaluating the safety and efficacy of furosemide in cats has been conducted in France and the USA, and is expected to be published in the 2-20 November 2011. The study will be conducted at the University of Veterinary Medicine, and includes a total of 150 cats, 60 from breed, and 90 from non-bacterial species. The cats were divided into three groups. Group 1 received furosemide 100 mg/kg every 12 hours and group 2 received furosemide 1.25 mg/kg every 12 hours. The study was conducted between July 2014 and September 2015. The study was approved by the French Food Safety Committee (ANKS/12/14/1322). The study protocol was registered in the French Clinical Trials Registry (NCT03804065). The protocol is presented inFigure. A) The cat was administered the furosemide injection every 12 hours for 5 days. B) The cat was given furosemide 100 mg/kg every 12 hours for 5 days. C) The cat was given furosemide 1.25 mg/kg every 12 hours for 5 days. D) The cat was given furosemide 1.25 mg/kg every 12 hours for 5 days. E) The cat was given furosemide 1.25 mg/kg every 12 hours for 5 days. All cats received a single dose of furosemide (Furoseme®). The mean starting dose was 0.8 mg/kg every 12 hours for cats 1, 2, and 3, and the maximum dose was 1.3 mg/kg every 12 hours for cats 4, 5 and 6. The cat was administered the furosemide injection every 12 hours for 5 days. The mean starting dose was 0.8 mg/kg every 12 hours for cats 1, 2 and 3, and the maximum dose was 1.3 mg/kg every 12 hours for cats 4, 5 and 6. A total of 60 cats from the different groups were evaluated. The results from the study showed that the furosemide injection was effective in the majority of cases (77.9% of the total population, 95.0% of the cats in the study group), and it was associated with a statistically significant reduction in the mortality rate (95% confidence interval, −18.8 to −11.9; P<0.001). The mean reduction in the mortality rate was significantly higher in the furosemide group than in the control group (6.6% vs. 0.2%; P<0.001), and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The study showed that the cat received the furosemide injection as a single dose, and the cat survived the test. The cat was monitored for signs of a dose-related toxicity (irritative, lethargic, or hyperglycaemic) after administration, and there was no evidence of toxicity during the test.
The study was conducted in a single-dose randomized clinical trial. The study included 240 cats from breed, 60 from non-bacterial species, and 90 from non-bacterial species. The cat in the study group received furosemide 100 mg/kg every 12 hours for 5 days, the cat in the control group received furosemide 1.25 mg/kg every 12 hours for 5 days, and the cat in the furosemide group received furosemide 1.25 mg/kg every 12 hours for 5 days. The cat in the study group received furosemide 1.25 mg/kg every 12 hours for 5 days. The cat was administered a single dose of the drug (Furoseme®) every 12 hours for 5 days.The cat received the furosemide injection as a single dose, and the cat survived the test.Furosemide is a loop diuretic used to treat fluid retention (edema) in people with congestive heart failure, liver disease, or a kidney disorder such as nephrotic syndrome. Furosemide is also used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
Furosemide works by increasing the amount of urine the body makes, which helps reduce swelling and symptoms of fluid retention and helps lower high blood pressure. Furosemide tablets are sometimes called water pills as they increase how much you urinate.
Before using this medicine, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, enlarged prostate, urination problems, cirrhosis or other liver disease, an electrolyte imbalance, high cholesterol, gout, lupus, diabetes, or an allergy to sulfa drugs.
Tell your doctor if you have recently had an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or any type of scan using a radioactive dye that is injected into your veins. Do not take more of this medication than is recommended.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using this medicine even if you feel fine. High blood pressure often has no symptoms.
Furosemide is a potent diuretic which, if given in excessive amounts, can lead to a profound diuresis with water and electrolyte depletion. Therefore, careful medical supervision is required and dose schedule must be adjusted to the individual patient’s needs
Tell your doctor about all your other medicines. Some drugs should not be used with furosemide.
It is not known if furosemide will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
It may not be safe to breastfeed while using furosemide. Ask your doctor about any risk. Furosemide may slow breast milk production.
Oral: Initial dose: 20 to 80 mg orally once; may repeat with the same dose or increase by 20 or 40 mg no sooner than 6 to 8 hours after the previous dose until the desired diuretic effect has been obtained. Maintenance dose: Administer the dose that provided the desired diuretic effect once or twice a day (e.g., at 8 am and 2 pm).
