How Fur Iv Injection works

Furosemide is a loop diuretic. It blocks the Na+-K+-2Cl− cotransporter in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, increasing excretion of sodium, chloride and water. This reduces fluid overload and lowers blood pressure/preload.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
