    Euro Pharma Furosemide

    Uploaded by

    ashleiy17
    Furosemide is a loop diuretic used to treat edema associated with congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and renal disease. It works by inhibiting sodium chloride reabsorption in the ascending loop of Henle, resulting in increased excretion of sodium, chloride, and to a lesser extent potassium and bicarbonate ions. Common adverse reactions include fluid and electrolyte imbalances like hypokalemia. It can interact with other drugs like aminoglycoside antibiotics which may increase ototoxicity risk. Nursing considerations include using cautiously in patients with hepatic disease or sulfonamide allergies.
