My husband is 72 yrs has congestive heart failure he is on 240 mg of furosemide and spironolactone 25 mg a day for fluid build which doesn't t help much has put on 6 kg over the past week which is all fluid.
If he is taking it for long time some insensitivity can be developed. I personally had to switch from Furosemide to Torasemide when the Furosemide no longer worked. Other people change to Bumetadine.
In any case we aware that the doses are not the same.
I have a question regarding the diuretic Metolazone. As background, my father is quite elderly at 85, suffering for the last five years from congestive heart failure (CHF) following two heart attacks 10 years ago. His condition has been treated successfully to date by use of lasix diuretic.
Two weeks ago, he gained water weight, and lasix did not work. The doctor prescribed Metolazone, a more powerful diuretic. This removed water, but from about 2 days after he started Metolazone, he began a downward spiral. He developed a potassium shortage, treated by a supplement. Metolazone was stopped, but he has become too weak to walk, and his thoughts are clouded. His water weight is normal.

We have been advised by the doctor to give my mom 20mg furosemide through iv for 3 days because of edema, today was her last day and her bp was 130/50, the doctor told us that her bp should not be lower than 90/60, but we still gave her medcation since her normal should be around 110/60, was it a good idea or a bad one that we administered her furosemide with bp reading of 130/50?

There is no cross-reactivity between Ethacrynic acid and Lasix (Furosemide). These drugs are both in the same family of medications known as Loop Diuretics and are more commonly known as a “water pill” because they cause an increase in the excretion of urine and electrolytes. There are different types of allergic reactions to medications known as hypersensitivities and symptoms can range from a skin rash to swelling and inflammation of the throat causing difficulty breathing and even death.
My old Akita (going on 16) had a cough for about 2 mos that my vet originally through was kennel cough. . However, since it didn't disappear, he put him on 20 mg of Furosemide 3 days ago and the cough has since stopped. I understand Furosemide is a powerful diuretic so I'm wondering if this will harm him in the long run even though his condition has improved.
FYI, Kita (the Akita) also developed a heart murmur about 4 years ago.
For cirrhotic ascites is the combined use of spironolactone (Aldactone) and furosemide (Lasix). Beginning dosages are 100 mg of spironolactone and 40 mg of furosemide by mouth daily. If weight loss and natriuresis are inadequate, both drugs can be simultaneously increased after 3 to 5 days to 200 mg of spironolactone and 80 mg of furosemide. To maintain normal electrolyte balance, the use of the 100 : 40 mg ratio of spironolactone to furosemide is generally recommended.
I have fluid retention on and off and my doctor prescribed furosemide 80mg twice a day. This is the second time that I have gone through sudden and severe muscle cramps, entire body, arms, legs etc. First time was 2 years ago and he stopped my taking Lipitor. Last night it happened again. I only take this when my legs swell badly and this just started 3 days ago ( the swelling ). I do not use the furosemide all the time , only when I am retaining water.
My grandmother takes water pills and she gave me something stronger. Furosemide. So far this is the best thing to have work. Not 100% as i still fluctuate back and forth in weight because of water. But it is giving me some relief. But down side is it's depleting my body of potassium and causing some wicked charlie horses.
I don't know what to do. Doctor says nothing is wrong but obviously there is.
Furosemide 40 mg and spironolactone 25 mg. Should I take both at once or take both the same day at different times or discontinue one? Did anyone can share your experience?
He went to the doctor last week and they increased his lasix - 160 mg twice a day. No change to the edema. He went back yesterday and they prescribed Metolazone (diuretic). He took one this morning at 7:00 am and at 10:00 am he had not noticed any increase in urination. He also went to his cardiologist yesterday who said he did have fluid around his heart (cause of the coughing) but agreed with the diuretic prescription.

My 10 year old Dachsund is taking Furosemide, Enalapril, and Vetmedin and seems to be holding her own after 7 months of this diagnosis and these medicines. She has a loose, barely formed stool and has not had a normal formed stool since she has been on the medicine. She also has the worst flatulence ever. What could be causing the flatulence?
