What does it do?

Furosemide belongs to the diuretic class and is mainly used to remove excess water and salt accumulated in the body. It helps in the treatment of edema and hypertension.

Furosemide prevents the reabsorption of sodium and salt in the kidneys, allowing more water and salt to be expelled through urine. As a result, the body's fluid volume decreases, leading to lower blood pressure and relief from edema.
