Indications & Usage
INDICATIONS AND USAGE Edema Furosemide tablets are indicated in adults and pediatric patients for the treatment of edema associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and renal disease, including the nephrotic syndrome.
Furosemide Tablets are particularly useful when an agent with greater diuretic potential is desired.
Hypertension Oral furosemide may be used in adults for the treatment of hypertension alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
Hypertensive patients who cannot be adequately controlled with thiazides will probably also not be adequately controlled with furosemide alone.
