Furosemide

Common side effect is hyperglycemia, low serum potassium concentration, headaches, muscle cramps, and dizziness.

When taken a table, it typically starts to work within an hour. And, when injected into a vein (intravenously injection), it typically starts to show effects within five minutes.

Furosemide is used for fluid retention (edema) caused by kidney disease, liver disease, or congestive heart failure. It is also to treat high blood pressure, hypercalcemia, nephritic syndrome, and cirrhosis.
