Frusenex-100 Tablet contains furosemide (100 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Action on Loop of Henle: furosemide acts specifically on the ascending loop of Henle in the kidneys, a part of the tiny structures that filter your blood.

• Inhibits sodium and chloride reabsorption: It prevents your kidneys from reabsorbing sodium and chloride ions from the tubular lumen, which is the hollow space inside kidney tubules.

• Increases water excretion: By blocking the reabsorption of these ions, furosemide causes more water to be eliminated from your body through urine.

• Reduces fluid volume: The increased urine production helps decrease the total amount of fluid in your body, which helps relieve symptoms of oedema and lowers blood pressure.

• Store Frusenex-100 Tablet at room temperature (below 30°C) in a dry place.

• Limit salt intake: Since Frusenex-100 Tablet manages fluid retention and high blood pressure, reducing salt in your diet helps these conditions and improves how well the medicine works.

• Monitor your fluid intake: If you have oedema (fluid build-up in tissues) or heart failure, your doctor may recommend tracking how much you drink daily to help manage your condition.
