Recommended Maximum Adult Daily Dose
The recommended maximum daily dose of furosemide for adults is 1,500 mg.
Special Dosage Recommendations
The following adult dosing guidance is based on the clinical scenarios below. Always individualize dosing under medical supervision.
Edema in Chronic Congestive Heart Failure
Recommended initial oral dose is 20–50 mg once daily. If needed, adjust based on the patient’s therapeutic response. The total daily dose may be split into 2–3 doses.
Edema in Chronic Renal Failure
The natriuretic effect of furosemide depends on several factors, including the severity of renal impairment and sodium balance; therefore, the response cannot be predicted with certainty. Dose should be carefully titrated to achieve a gradual initial fluid loss. For adults, this means aiming for a daily body weight reduction of approximately 2 kg during initial titration, when clinically appropriate.
Typical oral daily dose is 40–80 mg, adjusted as needed based on response. The daily dose may be administered once or divided into 2 doses. For patients on hemodialysis, the total daily oral dose may range from 250–1,500 mg.
In acute renal failure, correct hypovolemia, arterial hypotension, and any significant electrolyte or acid–base imbalance before initiating furosemide.
Overdose
Do not take two doses at once or an extra dose. Overdose presentation depends primarily on the degree and consequences of fluid and electrolyte loss and may include signs such as hypovolemia, dehydration, hemoconcentration, and cardiac arrhythmias. Seek urgent medical attention if overdose is suspected.
