Usage

Furosemide tablets should be given orally as directed by your veterinarian. Please consult your veterinarian before making any changes or discontinuing the prescribed dosing schedule.

Diuretic medications, including furosemide, increase the number of times your pet will need to urinate. Ensure your pet has continuous access to clean, fresh water at all times. Try to give the prescribed dose(s) earlier in the day to help avoid nighttime urinary urgency.

This medication can be given with or without food. If your pet vomits or appears unwell after receiving a dose on an empty stomach, give future doses with food or a small treat. If vomiting continues, contact your veterinarian.

Missed doses

Administer the dose as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Do not give two doses at once.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (68 to 77°F, excursions permitted between 59 and 86°F). Keep in a tight, light-resistant container and out of the reach of children and pets. Store away from heat and direct sunlight. Do not store in the bathroom, near the kitchen sink, or in damp places. The medicine may break down if exposed to heat or moisture.

Side effects

Possible side effects may include (but are not limited to): increased thirst and/or urination, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, and restlessness.

Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet has complete lack of urination or experiences extreme weakness/collapse, hearing loss, head tilt, difficulty balancing, or a racing heartbeat.

Notify your veterinarian if your pet experiences any of the effects described above, or if you notice any other side effects that are persistent or troublesome.

If you notice anything unusual, please consult your veterinarian.

Precautions

Do NOT use this medication in patients with a serious electrolyte imbalance, an inability to produce urine (anuria), or those with a liver condition called hepatic encephalopathy. Do NOT use this medication during pregnancy or in stallions used for breeding.

Use with caution in animals with preexisting electrolyte or fluid imbalance, liver impairment, advanced kidney disease, or diabetes.

Do not administer to animals with a known history or suspected allergy/hypersensitivity to any loop diuretics, including this medication or any of its ingredients. Allergic reactions to medications may occur. Be sure to inform Vetsource and your veterinarian if your pet has any known drug sensitivities or allergies.

If your pet displays symptoms of an allergic reaction, discontinue therapy and call your veterinarian immediately or seek emergency veterinary attention. Symptoms may include (but are not limited to): swollen lips, tongue, face, or airways, difficulty breathing, agitation, profuse salivation, and widespread hives or itching.

*NOTE: this may not be a comprehensive list. Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together.
