Furosemide
Furosemide is a potent diuretic (water pill). It belongs to the class of drugs known asloop diuretics.
Lasix is a loop diuretic that acts by reducing the amount of fluid that enters the body by increasing the amount of urine output.
Lasix can be given in two ways:
Lasix is available in tablets and oral solution as well as intravenous injection. The most common side effects include the following:
It is important to note that Lasix does not cause any side effects in people with certain heart conditions.
If you are taking Lasix, you should not stop taking it without speaking to a doctor first.
You should not stop taking Lasix without talking to your doctor first.
Lasix is not a diuretic. It is aninhibitor(an enzyme) of the sodium-potassium-acid exchange system. By inhibiting the sodium-potassium-acid exchange system, Lasix increases the level of water and sodium in the blood and removes excess water and sodium from the body.
Lasix can cause serious side effects in the following conditions:
It is important to inform your doctor if you are taking Lasix with other drugs that cause an increase in fluid levels.
If you are taking Lasix, it is important to inform your doctor about the conditions of the blood vessels (endothelial function) in your heart. This is because a decrease in blood pressure can cause a heart attack or stroke in some patients.
The potassium levels in your blood are measured with a blood pressure test. A blood test is used to measure potassium levels in your blood. It is important to have a blood test to check the potassium level in your blood. The potassium level is measured in a blood sample taken from your arm or leg (the blood vessel of the heart).
If you have certain heart problems, it is not recommended to take Lasix. If you are suffering from a heart attack, a stroke, or any other heart condition, you should not take this medication.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should not take Lasix unless you have discussed this with your doctor. The risks of taking Lasix with other drugs that cause an increase in fluid levels are unknown.
If you have kidney problems or are suffering from low blood pressure, you should not take Lasix. If you are suffering from high blood pressure, you should not take this medication.
If you have a liver problem, you should not take Lasix.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should not take Lasix.
Lasix is a diuretic used to treat fluid retention (edema) in the body. It is commonly prescribed to treat conditions such as high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure (which occurs when fluid in the blood constricts blood vessels), and kidney disease.
Lasix is available in tablet form and can be taken with or without food. It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and not exceed the recommended dose. Additionally, Lasix should be used with caution in elderly patients and in patients with kidney problems.
Lasix is also used for the treatment of edema associated with congestive heart failure and cirrhosis of the liver. It may also be used in patients with dehydration, especially in the elderly. Lasix should be used with caution in patients with liver disease.
Furosemide (Lasix) is a diuretic. It is a diuretic that is used to reduce the amount of fluid in the body. It works by increasing the amount of urine excreted through the kidneys. It is usually taken once a day.
Furosemide is also used to treat edema in conditions such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Lasix may also be used to treat the symptoms of dehydration such as dizziness, drowsiness, and fatigue.
Lasix can be used with or without food. It is usually taken with or without food.
Lasix may also be used to treat heart failure in people with cirrhosis of the liver and ascites (fluid build-up in the abdomen).
Lasix should not be used in children younger than 12 years of age.
Lasix is a potassium-sparing diuretic. It works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys, resulting in increased urine excretion. Lasix may also be used to treat high blood pressure in people with cirrhosis of the liver or heart.
It is used to treat fluid retention (edema) in the body.
Furosemide (Lasix) is a loop diuretic.
Lasix may also be used to treat hypercalcemia in the body. Lasix may also be used to treat dehydration in people with dehydration and hypercalcemia.

You should inform your doctor if you have any of the following medical conditions:
Furosemide tablets are not recommended for use in children and adolescents under the age of 18 years.
Furosemide can cause a number of side effects. Common side effects may include headache, flushing, indigestion, nasal congestion, dizziness, muscle cramps, stomach upset, constipation, and tiredness. Rare side effects may include sudden vision or hearing loss, sudden hearing loss, ringing in ears, hearing changes, sudden hearing loss, dizziness, and swelling of ankles, hands, or feet. These side effects usually resolve on their own without treatment.
Less common side effects may include diarrhea, dizziness, nausea, constipation, vomiting, stomach cramps, flatulence, dizziness, headache, increased thirst, weight gain, and increased urination.
More serious side effects may include irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmias, fast or irregular heartbeat), chest pain, and changes in the balance or ability to speak (e.g., temporary memory loss).
Less serious side effects may include increased pressure in the skull (e.g., sudden decreased vision, increased hearing, blurred vision, ringing in ears, decreased hearing, confusion), and changes in hearing (including temporary blindness).
Severe side effects may include swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, breathing problems, chest pain, dizziness, or difficulty breathing.
If you notice any of the following serious side effects while taking furosemide, immediately stop taking furosemide and contact your doctor immediately:
Less serious side effects may need immediate medical attention:
Furosemide tablets can cause a serious condition called acute ototoxicity (an allergic reaction to furosemide or any other medications). This is when the body makes too much of a substance called nitric oxide. This leads to a sudden and dangerous drop in blood pressure.
This is not a complete list of all serious side effects that may occur.
If you notice any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
Furosemide is used to treat fluid retention (edema) caused by conditions such as congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or kidney disease. It may also be used to reduce swelling and difficulty breathing caused by various conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypertension, or asthma.
Furosemide may be used alone or in combination with other medications to treat fluid retention or swelling. It may also be used to reduce inflammation (swelling) in the joints, like the hands, wrists, elbows, knees, and ankles.
Take special care with Furosemide tablets because it may be taken with or without food. Follow the prescribed schedule and dosage.
Common side effects may include headache, flushing, upset stomach, bloating, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, blurred vision, or muscle pain. Tell your doctor right away if any of these side effects persist or become bothersome.
Serious side effects of Furosemide may include muscle weakness or twitching, severe skin rash, or trouble breathing. However, most side effects should not be ignored and will resolve on their own. It's important to discuss all pregnant women with Furosemide and all breastfeeding women with Furosemide with your doctor. Do not discontinue any medications without consulting your doctor.

Fluconazole is a member of the azole antibiotics family with a molecular weight of 324.6 g/mol and a structural formula of C=O, C1≡C22H21N3O3 (C22H21N3O3=C22H21O2). It is structurally similar to (1H,2H) proton pump inhibitor (PPI) azole antibiotics [1,2]:
Azole antifungals are classified into two families based on their pharmacological properties and structural similarity to furosemide and fluconazole (; ; ; ; ; ).
Fluconazole is a broad-spectrum azole antifungal with various antibacterial and antiprotozoal activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
The primary metabolite of furosemide, 2-hydroxy-1-methyl-1-propanolamide-3,5-dione (hf5), is primarily excreted in the urine and is converted to the more reactive 4-hydroxy metabolite, 2-(dihydro-2-methyl-pyrimidinyl)-1-propanamide-3,5-dione (hf4).
Furosemide is an inhibitor of the cytochrome P-450 system (CYP3A4). It inhibits the metabolism of both furosemide and 2-hydroxy-1-methyl-1-propanol-3-carboxylic acid (hf3, hf5) in humans.
Furosemide is a potent inhibitor of the CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 enzymes in the liver. The liver is the site of the active metabolite formation. Furosemide is highly efficient in inhibiting both furosemide and 2-hydroxy-1-methyl-1-propanol-3-carboxic acid.
