PRECAUTIONS: What should I watch for while taking furosemide?
Visit your prescriber or health care professional for regular checks on your progress. Check your blood pressure regularly. Ask your prescriber or health care professional what your blood pressure should be, and when you should contact him or her. You must not get dehydrated, ask your prescriber or health care professional how much fluid you need to drink a day. Do not stop taking furosemide except on your prescriber's advice.
DRUG INTERACTIONS:
Inform your doctor about all the medicines you use, (prescription
and nonprescription) especially if you take: high blood pressure medicine,
MAO inhibitors (e.g., furazolidone, linezolid, phenelzine, selegiline,
tranylcypromine), any other weight loss medicine. Avoid "stimulant"
drugs that may increase your heart rate such as decongestants or caffeine.
Decongestants are commonly found in over-the-counter cough-and-cold
medicines. Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist
approval.
OVERDOSE: If
overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or
emergency room immediately. Symptoms of overdose may include restlessness,
fever, fast breathing, dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, panic
or paranoid, drowsiness, convulsions, unconsciousness, unusually fast
or slow heart beat, headache, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain,
pale or flushing, chest pain, sweating, muscle weakness, agitation,
large pupils, or delusions.
NOTES: Watch your diet while you are taking furosemide. Ask your prescriber or health care professional about both potassium and sodium intake. Furosemide can make your body lose potassium and you may need an extra supply. Some foods have a high potassium content such as bananas, coconuts, dates, figs, prunes, apricots, peaches, grapefruit juice, tomato juice, and orange juice.
MISSED DOSE:
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses.
