FUROSEMIDE ETHACRYNIC ACID
Adverse effects (FUROSEMIDE) Furosemide also can lead to gout caused by hyperuricemia . Hyperglycemia is also a common side effect. The tendency, as for all loop diuretics, to cause low serum potassium concentration ( hypokalemia ) has given rise to combination products, either with potassium or with the potassium-sparing diuretic amiloride ( Co- amilofruse ). Other electrolyte abnormalities that can result from furosemide use include hyponatremia , hypochloremia , hypomagnesemia , and hypocalcemia . In the treatment of heart failure, many studies have shown that the long-term use of furosemide can cause varying degrees of thiamine deficiency , so thiamine supplementation is also suggested. Although disputed, it is considered ototoxic : "usually with large intravenous doses and rapid administration and in renal impairment". Other precautions include: nephrotoxicity , sulfonamide (sulfa) allergy, and increases free thyroid hormone effects with large doses.
