FUROSEMIDE S.A.L.F. 250mg/25ml solution for infusion or 20mg/2ml solution for injection

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Diuretics with a

major diuretic action.

Furosemide, a synthesis saluretic agent, causes

an increase in water and sodium elimination,

even in cases in which the glomerular filtration

is very limited.

The natriuretic effect is dose-dependent,

therefore, furosemide allows to obtain a guided

diuresis; instead, the urinary excretion of potassium

is significantly limited. As a result, the

sodium-potassium ratio is extremely favorable.

The diuretic effect following an oral administration

begins within the first hour and lasts 4-6

hours; by intravenous administration the effect

occurs within few minutes and lasts about 2

hours, while by intramuscular administration

the effect occurs a few minutes later, but the

duration of the action is longer.
