Furocal Hampton
DIURETIC
Bottle x 10 and 50 ml.
Formula:
Each 100 ml contains: Furosemide 5.00 g.
Action:
This product is a diuretic and saluretic characterized pharmacodynamically
by: 1- Rapid onset and short duration of diuresis. Its
action does not extend beyond what is intended. 2- Pharmacological activity
across the entire functional area of the nephron: proximal tubule, distal tubule and the ascending
segment of the loop of Henle. 3- By adjusting dose, intervals and route of
administration, the amount and duration of diuresis can be regulated, with
a correct dose-response relationship and a range from minimum to maximum dose
that can be increased up to 10-fold. 4- Marked selectivity in the elimination
of electrolytes, with an optimal Na/K balance, practically
does not cause hypokalemia. 5- At very high doses and administered over
very prolonged periods it has shown excellent tolerance. 6- In the
distal tubule it produces diuresis both in acidosis and alkalosis, has no inhibitory
effect on carbonic anhydrase, does not influence aldosterone
activity nor alter carbohydrate metabolism. 7- Can
be administered to large and small animals.
