How does it work
Furosemide works by preventing the body from absorbing too much salt. The salt is eliminated in the urine.
Taking Furosemide & the right dosage
Furosemide may be taken with or without a meal.
The treatment must continue for at least three months for you to notice any difference. If you do not notice any difference after taking the medicine for up to 12 months, then it may not work for you at all.
Storage
Store Furosemide in a cool and dark place at room temperature. Do not store it in a place where it can get exposed to direct sunlight or moisture.
Keep it away from children and pets.
