I found a small oval pill with 39 on one side & sb on the other side and I want to know if it's a generic for furosemide? ## No, this tablet is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline and they list it as being a 3.125mg tablet of Coreg, which contains the active ingredient Carvedilol, which is used to treat high blood pressure, and certain cardiac conditions. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

I accidentally took a white pill, that was not my prescription. It had an imprint of 54 583. Should I worry?

I was prescribed by my doctor to take 1 tablet each morning. I have a lot of lung, bone, reflex and other issues. On O2 daily now. Are there any side effects I should watch for? Also, on the same day I was prescribed to take a Potassium Chloride Micro 10meq ER tab once daily. Any suggestions? I have a lot of GI issues. ## The FDA lists the typical side effects of Furosemide as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, dehydration, and hypotension. The biggest thing to watch out for is the dehydration. Please make sure that you are taking in enough fluids each day. Are you on any other medications, or just these 2?

Will Puresis (Furosemide) help pass kidney stones? ## Not really, it is a diuretic that is used to help remove fluid from the body, according to the U.S. FDA. Since you already feel a frequent urge to urinate, when you have a kidney stone, it could just make you feel more miserable than you already are. The best thing to do is to take in plenty of fluids, such as water, or juices, and see your doctor it the stone doesn't pass soon. Are you on any medications?

I accidentally took another two furosemide just three hours after my evening dose. Should I be ok? ## Hello, Rick! How are you? What dosage do you take? Did you experience any adverse effects? Taking too much could cause dehydration and hypotension, according to FDA reports, so you do need to be careful not to take more than your doctor has prescribed. Are you on any other medications?

Hi, I'm from the UK. My 78yr old mum has been prescribed 120mg furosemide daily for heart failure, but the side effects are dreadful and two days ago she decided to stop taking them. She has been on them for 9 months and I don't think it is wise for her to stop them suddenly. Is she putting herself at risk by doing this? Thank you ## Hello, Cate! How is your mum doing? Yes, she could certainly be putting herself at risk. Congestive heart failure is caused by high blood pressure, which causes the body to retain too much fluid. The intent of this medication is to help remove that excess fluid, to reduce the strain on her heart, so it can function better and more easily, thus, if she stops taking it suddenly, she could experience elevated blood pressure, elevated heart rate and, go...

Found a small round pill, has that V on one side of it, other side is 54 over 583. Seeing mixed answers on these numbers. ## Hello, Jarr! How are you? I can't find anything in the databases that has a V on one side, with these numbers on the other. Roxane Laboratories does like a round, white tablet with just the 54 over 583 on it. They show it as containing 40mgs of Furosemide, which is a diuretic that's used to treat high blood pressure, edema and congestive heart failure. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and dehydration. Is anyone else familiar with one that also has a V on it? ## Sorry, that was a typo, it should have been they list it, not like. LOL

I finished taking Furosemide pill about 3 weeks ago, but I'm still losing weight. Is this normal or do I have another problem? I have losted 24 lbs in 3 weeks ## Hello, Walter! How are you?

The FDA classifies it as a diuretic and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain and dehydration. Have you experienced any other symptoms, such as ongoing dizziness, difficulty urinating and muscle pain or cramping? You might be dehydrated.

I wondered the same, finding a TEVA 2900 in my furosemide bottle. It is actually a 2908. If you...

This is furosemide 20 mg. This is a water pill/diuretic. ## Hello, Ann! How are you? The marking on the Furosemide tablet from Teva is actually TEVA 2908. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and dehydration. Though I admit it does look like 2900, because the pressing is somewhat off. Are there any questions or concerns?

Do water pills, (Furosemide in question) play any kind of substantial part in the outcome of a UA? Negative or Positive?? I'm on a high dose, (80 mg) and want to know if by taking them if a "potential" or "questionable" dirty UA (for clonazepam & soma) has a greater chance of coming out clean? These pills make you urinate quite frequently- to say the least! Especially on a very high dose.. So does anyone know for sure? Someone in the Medical profession out there? I'm sure this is a question someone in the profession can answer; but if there's anyone out there who knows 1 way or another- please reply!!! I'm sure I'm not the only 1 who's questioned water pills & what part they play in a UA!

I have high blood pressure and heart problems also kidney failure does it help me with this diagnose of my situation ? I'm using the medicine called furosemide. ## Hello, Michael! How are you? The FDA classifies Furosemide as a loop diuretic that helps remove excess fluid from the body, it is typical used to treat high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and edema. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, hypotension, increased urination and dehydration. My concern is that it can be very taxing on your kidneys and is not always appropriate for those with kidney disease. I'd suggest double checking with your doctor, for your own safety. Is there anything else I can help with?
