i take ritalin 40 mg and zzanaxx and i thought i was taking 2 1mg zzanaxx's but i accidently took 2 40 mg ic furosemide which are my husbands will i be ok tonight ? ## I'm not a doctor, but I can assume that you may feel the effects (and possibly side effects) of the furosemide until it wears off, but you 'should' be fine since you don't accidentally do this on a regular basis. It's been two days since you posted this, so I'm guessing that you're over any symptoms that the drug may have caused you. 80mg of furosemide is a high dose, but if you made it threw the day ok then I personally wouldn't stay worried. If for some reason you still notice any effects from it, I would highly recommend that you go to your doctor and let him know what happened. He o...

They may still be ok to take if they haven't been exposed to a high amount of heat or various other conditions outside of the bottle, however I am not a pharmacist or MD, so I cannot guarantee if it is safe for you to consume.

Hi, I'm from the UK. My 78yr old mum has been prescribed 120mg furosemide daily for heart failure, but the side effects are dreadful and two days ago she decided to stop taking them. She has been on them for 9 months and I don't think it is wise for her to stop them suddenly. Is she putting herself at risk by doing this? Thank you ## Hello, Cate! How is your mum doing? Yes, she could certainly be putting herself at risk. Congestive heart failure is caused by high blood pressure, which causes the body to retain too much fluid. The intent of this medication is to help remove that excess fluid, to reduce the strain on her heart, so it can function better and more easily, thus, if she stops taking it suddenly, she could experience elevated blood pressure, elevated heart rate and, go...

My mother will be 90 years old in August 2019. She was prescribed Furosemide 40mg, 2 tablets in the morning and 1 tablet at 2pm. (prescribed after cardiac failure) She also drinks 1x Ridaq 12.5mg each morning after breakfast. Other medication is Isosorbide Dinitrate 10, 1 tablet 3x per day. She drinks +- 1.5lt water pd. She's complaining of having to get to the toilet 4/5x during night +- once every 30-45 during the day. Could the Furosemide and Ridaq dosages too much for her. Thank you ## That is a normal side effect of both Furosemide and the Hydrochlorothiazide in the Ridaq, they are both intended to remove excess fluid from her body to help prevent future congestive heart failure, they can also help to lower high blood pressure. She should make sure her doctor is aware of how of...

I finished taking Furosemide pill about 3 weeks ago, but I'm still losing weight. Is this normal or do I have another problem? I have losted 24 lbs in 3 weeks ## Hello, Walter! How are you? No, it isn't likely that the medication would still be causing it, if you've been off of it for 3 weeks, now. The FDA classifies it as a diuretic and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain and dehydration. Have you experienced any other symptoms, such as ongoing dizziness, difficulty urinating and muscle pain or cramping? You might be dehydrated. Are you on a diet? ## My husband receive an bypass last year July for the past 2 months his ankles and his legs are swelling. Dr. subscribe water tablets for the 1 month but there where no c...

I cannot find the manf. of the 80mg.pills that the pharmacy sub for the fortys and now they want to charge me full price for generic kind. ## The pharmacy should be able to order them in for you. If they won't, you may need to try a different pharmacy. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Do you also watch your diet, and sodium intake? What other medications have you tried?

Is Furosemide too outdated to take if it is date 01/2011 for swelling ## Hello, Nick! How are you? Yes, medications tend to lose effectiveness over time, so it most likely won't help. The best thing to do would be to dispose of this old supply and see your doctor for a new prescription. Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, headache and dehydration. Is there anything else I can help with?

What are the side effects of Furosemide? ## As with many diuretics, Furosemide can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, including loss of potassium, calcium, sodium, and magnesium. It is especially important to prevent potassium loss. Excessive use of Furosemide will most likely lead to a metabolic alkalosis due to hypochloremia and hypokalemia. It should be used with caution in horses with liver problems or electrolyte abnormalities. Overdose may lead to dehydration, change in drinking patterns and urination, seizures, GI problems, kidney damage, lethargy, collapse, and coma. For more information about this drug and its side effects, please refer to the link below... If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you.

I am having a procedure done and can not have any blood thinners such as aleve or baby aspirin. I take furosemide and was wondering if it is a blood thinner? ## No, it is a diuretic that is used to help remove excess fluid from the body to treat conditions such as high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, and edema. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Are you on any other medications?

My Furosemide dose continues at three 20mg pills twice a day, but a change occurred with the manufacturer. It was Westward (54 840) and now it's Solco Health (V 3169). My daytime blood pressure is now dropping. Is there any correlation between this and the differences in pills? Both are 20mg tablets. ## How low is it dropping? Have you made any other changes to your diet, or lifestyle? Sometimes, as ones blood pressure gets lower, medication doses need to be lowered to keep it from going too low. Are you also making sure that you are staying hydrated? Furosemide works by removing excess fluid from the body, and if you become dehydrated, that will also cause your blood pressure to drop. Other side effects may include dizziness, headache, and increased urination.
