Frasix 20 Injection & Frasix 40 Injection Generic Name: Frusemide (Furosemide) Injection IP Frasix 20 Injection and Frasix 40 Injection contain Frusemide (Furosemide), a potent loop diuretic used to help remove excess fluid from the body by increasing urine production. Frusemide acts primarily in the loop of Henle in the kidneys, reducing the reabsorption of sodium and chloride and increasing the excretion of water and electrolytes. Injectable frusemide may be used for edema (fluid retention) associated with conditions such as heart failure, kidney disease, or liver disease. It may also be used in selected cases of acute pulmonary edema and hypertension, according to medical assessment. Available Strengths Product Active Ingredient Stated Strength Frasix 20 Injection Frusemide 20 mg* Frasix 40 Injection Frusemide 40 mg* *The exact concentration (mg/mL) and ampoule/vial volume should be confirmed from the individual product pack. Dosage The dosage of Frasix Injection must be determined by a healthcare professional according to: Severity of fluid retention Patient's age and body weight Kidney function Blood pressure Electrolyte levels Underlying medical condition Response to previous diuretic therapy Frusemide injection may be administered intravenously or intramuscularly, depending on the specific product labeling and clinical circumstances. IV administration should be performed at an appropriate controlled rate. Precautions Monitor blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels during treatment when appropriate. Inform the doctor about kidney or liver disease. Tell the physician about dehydration, low blood pressure, or electrolyte abnormalities. Inform the healthcare professional about other diuretics, blood-pressure medicines, lithium, digoxin, NSAIDs, and other medicines being used. Excessive diuresis can cause dehydration and electrolyte depletion. Patients with diabetes or gout may require additional monitoring. Pregnancy and breastfeeding require medical assessment. Side Effects Possible side effects include: Increased urination Dizziness Low blood pressure Dehydration Low potassium levels Low sodium levels Muscle cramps Weakness Increased uric acid High doses or rapid IV administration can increase the risk of hearing-related toxicity (ototoxicity). Warning Frasix Injection should be administered under qualified medical supervision. Excessive treatment can result in significant dehydration, reduced blood volume, hypotension, and electrolyte disturbances. FAQ 1. What is Frasix Injection used for?
