Furosemide oral tablets (adults) - selected U.S. labeling
- Product / population
- Adults treated for edema with oral furosemide tablets. Intravenous infusion and route-conversion instructions are excluded.
- Renal measure
- Renal function, urine output and diuretic response; no fixed numeric renal-adjustment table.
Labeled basic dosing
For edema, start 20-80 mg orally once. When needed, repeat after 6-8 hours or increase by 20-40 mg no sooner than 6-8 hours after the prior dose. The effective individual dose is subsequently given once or twice daily.
Renal information and dialysis
Dosing is response-guided, not a fixed CrCl percentage table. Anuria is a contraindication. Stop treatment if increasing azotemia and oliguria develop in severe progressive renal disease.
Selected warnings and limits
Follow fluid status, blood pressure, electrolytes and kidney function. Excess diuresis can cause dehydration and electrolyte depletion; severe renal dysfunction increases susceptibility to ototoxicity.
