What the Health Canada label says it is for
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE TEVA-FUROSEMIDE (furosemide) is indicated for:  The treatment of edema associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver and renal disease including, nephrotic syndrome, as well as other edematous states amenable to diuretic therapy.  Can also be used alone in the control of mild to moderate hypertension, or in combination with other antihypertensive agents in more severe cases. Hypertensive patients who cannot be adequately controlled with thiazides will probably also not be adequately controllable with furosemide alone. 3 Pediatrics When administered to children, TEVA-FUROSEMIDE therapy should be instituted in the hospital, in carefully selected patients, under close observation with frequent monitoring of serum electrolytes (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION section). The available pediatric data does not allow for a recommendation of a specific age range in this population. Geriatrics (> 61 years of age) Use in the geriatric population is associated with differences in safety (see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS). https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00055547.PDF PM date: March 24, 2020 Source product: TEVA-FUROSEMIDE; DIN 00337730; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.
