Asilix Tablets 250mg

Used For:

Furosemide is primarily used to treat conditions where excess fluid accumulation occurs in the body, such as congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, kidney disorders (like nephrotic syndrome or acute kidney injury), and certain forms of high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by increasing the production of urine, thus helping the body get rid of excess water and salt.

Side Effects:

 Common side effects of furosemide may include frequent urination, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances (such as low levels of potassium, sodium, or magnesium), dizziness, headache, weakness, or muscle cramps. More serious side effects can occur, such as severe dehydration, kidney damage, hearing loss, or allergic reactions (manifested by rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing). Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any concerning side effects.

Precautions:

There are several precautions to consider when taking furosemide. It's important to monitor your fluid and electrolyte balance regularly, especially if you have conditions such as heart failure or kidney disease. Your healthcare provider may recommend dietary changes or supplements to help maintain electrolyte balance. Furosemide may interact with other medications, so inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking furosemide, as it can worsen dehydration and dizziness.

Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions and dosing recommendations when taking Asilix Tablets or any medication containing furosemide, and consult them if you have any questions or concerns about its use.
