Furosemide:
Furosemide is a loop diuretic (water pill) that prevents your body from
absorbing too much salt, allowing the salt to instead be passed in your
urine.
Furosemide treats fluid retention (edema) in people with
congestive heart failure, liver disease, or a kidney disorder such as
nephrotic syndrome. This medication is also used to treat high blood
pressure (hypertension).
Furosemide may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
