Suggest Remedy For Burning Sensation In Abdomen And Body Pain While On Frusenex

Hello doctor, I was prescribed Frusenex 100mg when I visited doctor for swelling in my feet. Now the swelling is gone, I am still continuing 2 tablets per day. I am having stomach burning, diziness, body pains. Is this because of two tablets per day? Can I reduce dosage or stop using this medication?

Hello,

* The Frusenex ( Furosemide ) is a diuretic medication used for variety of clinical disorders including high BP and fluid retention in the body.

* The reason for body pain and dizziness indicate possible low blood pressure, alteration in serum electrolytes as sodium, potassium revealing multiple symptoms. My guidelines at present

- maintain hydration to balance fluid intake and urine output as per the age wise weight criteria

- control of blood sugar

- taper the dose of Frusenex to half at present

- consult your doc for need of lab tests of cmplete hemogra serum electrolytes creatinine and urea levels.

Do feel free to discuss further doubts at any point of time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
