Medicine Overview of Frusin 20mg/5ml Syrup
Introduction
Frusin belongs to a group of medicines called diuretics or water tablets. It is used to reduce the swelling (edema) caused by too much water in the body in people who have heart failure, liver or kidney disease. This medicine is also used to treat high blood pressure. Frusin helps your body get rid of extra water and salt through urine. It may be used alone or in combination with other medicines as per the dose advised by your doctor.

If you miss a dose of Frusin, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Quick Tips
- Take it in the morning with breakfast to avoid getting up at night to urinate.
- Monitor your blood pressure after starting Frusin, and notify your doctor if it does not lower down.
- Consult your doctor if you experience dizziness, tiredness, or muscle weakness that does not go away.

... Show moreChild Dose
Edema
Infants and children: 1-2 mg/kg IV/IM/PO once initially; increased by 1-2 mg/kg q6-8hr (PO) or 1 mg/kg q2hr (IV/IM); individual dose not to exceed 6 mg/kg
Neonates (<28 days): 0.5-1 mg/kg IV/IM q8-24hr; individual dose not to exceed 2 mg/kg
Resistant Hypertension
<1 year: Safety and efficacy not established
1-17 years: 0.5-2 mg/kg PO q24hr or q12hr; individual dose not to exceed 6 mg/kg/dose
Renal Dose
Acute renal failure: 1-3 g/day may be necessary to attain desired response; avoid use in oliguric states
Contraindication
Severe sodium and water depletion, hypersensitivity to sulphonamides and furosemide, hypokalaemia, hyponatraemia, precomatose states associated with liver cirrhosis, anuria or renal failure. Addison's disease.
Mode of Action
Furosemide inhibits reabsorption of Na and chloride mainly in the medullary portion of the ascending Loop of Henle. Excretion of potassium and ammonia is also increased while uric acid excretion is reduced. It increases plasma-renin levels and secondary hyperaldosteronism may result. Furosemide reduces BP in hypertensives as well as in normotensives. It also reduces pulmonary oedema before diuresis has set in.
Precaution
Prostatic hyperplasia. Hepatic or renal impairment, gout, DM, impaired micturition. Infusion rate should not exceed 4 mg/min to reduce the risk of ototoxicity. Monitor fluid and electrolyte balance and renal function. May lower serum levels of calcium and magnesium, thus serum levels should be monitored. Pregnancy and lactation.
Lactation: Drug excreted into breast milk; use with caution; may inhibit lactation
Side Effect
>10%
Hyperuricemia (40%), Hypokalemia (14-60%)
Frequency Not Defined
Hyponatraemia, hypochloraemic alkalosis, headache, drowsiness, muscle cramps, hypotension, dry mouth, thirst, weakness, lethargy, restlessness, oliguria, GI disturbances, hypovolaemia, dehydration, hyperuricaemia, acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis, drug rash w/ eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, reversible or irreversible hearing impairment, deafness, tinnitus, severe anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reactions (e.g. w/ shock), Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis; increased liver enzyme, cholesterol and triglyceride serum levels.
Potentially Fatal: Serious cardiac arrhythmias.
Pregnancy Category Note
Pregnancy category: C; treatment during pregnancy necessitates monitoring of fetal growth because of risk for higher fetal birth weights
Lactation: Drug excreted into breast milk; use with caution; may inhibit lactation
Interaction
Analgesics reduce natriuretic action of furosemide. Antagonises hypoglycaemic agents and drugs used for gout. Hyperglycaemia with antihypertensive agent diazoxide. Antagonises muscle relaxants. Increased risk of ototoxicity when used with aminoglycosides especially in renal impairment. May enhance nephrotoxicity of cephalosporins. Effects of antihypertensives enhanced. Action antagonised by corticosteroids. Phenytoin and indometacin may reduce effects of furosemide.
Potentially Fatal: May provoke severe hypotensive response with ACE inhibitors. NSAIDs inhibit diuretic and antihypertensive effects. Increased incidence of premature beats with cardiac glycosides.
