Furosemide Injection IP is a potent "water pill" (loop diuretic) primarily used to rapidly remove excess fluid and salt from the body. It is typically reserved for emergency situations or for patients who cannot take oral medications.
Primary Uses

- High Blood Calcium: Helps lower severely elevated calcium levels, often combined with adequate fluid hydration.
