Description
Furosemide is an intensive diuretic product. It is used to reduce edemas caused by the heart or renal failure, liver cirrhosis and other diseases.
The drug increases natural physiological processes and makes kidneys quickly remove the excessive liquid from the body. The drug improves intrarenal blood flow and the entire work of the kidneys. It quickly leads to the reduction of load on the heart by means of the dilation of major veins. A reduction of edemas happens by means of the intensive excretion of sodium and chlorine from the body.
A therapeutic effect of Furosemide depends on a dose. The higher the dose is, a faster and stronger the diuretic effect is. The drug begins working within 20-25 minutes after the use of a therapeutic dose. An intensive liquid excretion is observed within 4-6 hours, and edemas are decreased.
A dilation of the major veins favors a reduction of the blood pressure. If the peroral use of Furosemide lowers the arterial pressure within 1-2 hours, the intravenous introduction helps to reduce a hypertonic crisis within 20-30 minutes.
Every pill works within 8 hours. The maximal effect is achieved between 2-4 hours. Then, the action drops.
