Misuse, overdose, and changes in existing medical conditions are all factors in determining the safety of this medication.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abuse and dependence<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furosemide does not cause physical or psychological dependence. Furosemide may, however, cause temporary withdrawal symptoms when discontinued. Furosemide changes the body\u2019s hormonal mechanism for regulating urination (diuresis), called the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, or RAAS. When furosemide is taken over the long-term and abruptly discontinued, the body overcompensates by retaining too much water and salt, causing fluid build-up or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/blood-pressure-treatment-and-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">high blood pressure<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The effects wear off in a few days, but people with serious heart disease may require monitoring during this period.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overdose<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A furosemide overdose will cause rapid diuresis (water elimination) resulting in dehydration and electrolyte depletion. Symptoms include extreme thirst, feeling hot, weakness, sweating, or fainting. An overdose also raises the risk of hearing loss. If an overdose is suspected, immediately go to an emergency room.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restrictions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furosemide is FDA-approved for use in a wide range of people, from premature newborns to people of advanced age. Because of the potential for dehydration and electrolyte depletion, everyone taking furosemide will be monitored for fluid volume and electrolyte levels. A healthcare provider will teach patients the signs of dehydration or electrolyte depletion. Potassium supplements may be recommended to prevent low blood potassium (hypokalemia).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furosemide is never given to people:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whose kidneys do not produce urine (anuria)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who have had a serious allergic reaction to the drug<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furosemide is used with caution for certain age groups or medical conditions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Premature newborns<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may require monitoring because of the risk of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/kidney-stone-treatment-and-medications\"><b>kidney stones<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (nephrolithiasis) or calcium deposits in the kidneys (nephrocalcinosis).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>People older than 65<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may be started at the lowest possible dose and monitored regularly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People with a history of heart arrhythmias should be monitored.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People with <\/span><b>kidney problems<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (renal impairment) or <\/span><b>liver problems <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">may be given smaller doses and monitored regularly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People with <\/span><b>urinary retention problems<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can see their symptoms worsen because of the increase in urine volume in the bladder.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furosemide may be less effective and more likely to cause hearing loss in people with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/nephrotic-syndrome\/\"><b>nephrotic syndrome<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/diabetes-treatment-and-medications\"><b>diabetes<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will be warned about possible increases in blood sugar.

There is no limit on the length of time furosemide can be taken, but people regularly taking furosemide should follow a few tips to help manage side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.\u00a0 Tell the doctor about all medical conditions and medications<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before furosemide is prescribed, tell the prescribing doctor or healthcare professional about:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All current medical conditions, particularly kidney disease, liver disease, urination problems (such as enlarged prostate or bladder obstruction), gout, lupus, diabetes, electrolyte imbalances, heart arrhythmias, low blood pressure, or allergies to sulfonamides (sulfa drugs)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or any pregnancy plans<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any forthcoming glucose blood test\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any forthcoming medical scan that will include radioactive contrast dyes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any forthcoming surgery<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All OTC and prescription drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies being taken, particularly desmopressin or Marplan (isocarboxazid)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Take furosemide as directed<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow all the directions on the prescription label or provided by a healthcare professional. Do not take more or less than prescribed until you\u2019ve consulted with a doctor or healthcare professional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Avoid becoming dehydrated or low on electrolytes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furosemide can cause fluids and electrolytes in the body to drop too low. Severe dehydration can cause kidney damage and circulatory collapse. Electrolyte depletion can escalate into serious problems including coma, seizures, and heart attack. Ask a healthcare professional how much and what kind of fluids can be taken after a dose of furosemide. Potassium or other supplements might also be needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When taking furosemide, be on the lookout for signs of dehydration such as dry mouth, dry eyes, muscle cramps, muscle pain, drowsiness, fatigue, and weakness. You may be able to drink liquids to resolve the problem, but if liquids are restricted, call a healthcare professional for medical advice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.\u00a0 Monitor effects<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people may be asked to monitor their medical conditions such as blood pressure or blood glucose levels. Check these values faithfully and record them in a medication diary. If the values are abnormal, call a doctor or other healthcare provider for help.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5.\u00a0 Avoid NSAIDs and laxatives<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Popular pain-relievers such as aspirin and ibuprofen can reduce the effectiveness of furosemide and increase the risks to the kidney or hearing. The same applies to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/bismuth-subsalicylate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bismuth subsalicylate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the active ingredient in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/pepto-bismol\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pepto-Bismol<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s related to aspirin and will cause the same problems when combined with furosemide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laxatives increase water loss, so they increase the risk of dehydration, electrolyte depletion, and kidney damage when taking furosemide.
