Adverse Reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: • Fluid, Electrolyte, and Metabolic Abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • Ototoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] The following adverse reactions associated with the use of furosemide were identified in clinical studies or postmarketing reports.
Because some of these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Adverse reactions are categorized below by organ system and listed by decreasing severity.
Gastrointestinal System Reactions: pancreatitis, jaundice (intrahepatic cholestatic jaundice), increased liver enzymes, anorexia, oral and gastric irritation, cramping, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting.
Systemic Hypersensitivity Reactions: severe anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reactions (e.g., with shock), systemic vasculitis, interstitial nephritis, necrotizing angiitis.
Central Nervous System Reactions: tinnitus and hearing loss, paresthesias, vertigo, dizziness, headache, blurred vision, xanthopsia.
Hematologic Reactions: aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis, hemolytic anemia, leukopenia, anemia, eosinophilia.

Cardiovascular Reactions: orthostatic hypotension, increase in cholesterol and triglyceride serum levels.
