Diurin (Furosemide Tablets)

Diurin (Furosemide Tablets) used

Diurin (Furosemide Tablets) are used to treat oedema (water retention) caused by several conditions, including oedema associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver and renal disease (including the nephrotic syndrome). Diurin (Furosemide Tablets) are also used to help lower blood pressure in the treatment of hypertension, either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive medications. Diurin (Furosemide Tablets) help remove excess fluid from the body tissues, such as around the feet and ankles, which can become very swollen, and also from the blood and for this reason they are often called water tablets.

Diurin (Furosemide Tablets) work

Diurin (Furosemide Tablets) contain furosemide, a diuretic medication that acts directly on the kidneys at the site of the Loop of Henlé and in the proximal and distal tubules, which is where salts (sodium and potassium) are reabsorbed back into the blood to prevent the blood from becoming deficient in salts. Furosemide in Diurin (Furosemide Tablets) inhibits the reabsorption of salts back into the blood, so that more salts are excreted into the urine and more water is removed from the blood, which in turn draws more water out of the tissues. This increases the volume of urine that is produced and also reduces the volume of blood, which reduces the pressure on the blood vessels and helps lower blood pressure. Reducing the amount of water stored in the tissues reduces oedema (water retention and swelling), caused by congestive heart failure and other conditions.
