What Is Furosemide Used For?

Furosemide prescription medication belongs to a class of drugs known as diuretics. Furosemide medication is sometimes prescribed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) alone or in combination with other medications such as hydrochlorothiazide (Micardis). Furosemide is also used for the treatment of edema in conditions such as heart failure and cirrhosis. Similar to bumetanide (Bumex) and torsemide (Demadex), furosemide is thought to block the absorption of sodium and chloride in the proximal and distal tubules and the loop of Henle. Furosemide is bound to proteins in the plasma and has a terminal half-life of roughly two hours. The drug in furosemide prescription tablets is excreted in the urine.
