info

Furokid Pineapple Flavour Oral Drops 30 ml is used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and oedema (a build-up of fluid in the body). It contains Furosemide, which works by increasing the amount of urine that is passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease. This reduces the workload on the heart and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke. In some cases, you may experience side effects such as dehydration, headache, nausea, or dizziness. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

How Furokid Pineapple Flavour Oral Drops 30 ml Works

Furokid Pineapple Flavour Oral Drops 30 ml contains furosemide, which works by acting directly on your kidneys, specifically in an area called the loop of Henle. It blocks your body from reabsorbing salt and water, prompting your kidneys to filter them out of your bloodstream. By releasing these excess salts and fluids through your urine, the medicine reduces the overall volume of fluid circulating in your blood vessels. This process lowers the pressure on your blood vessel walls and relieves the swelling in your body tissues.
