Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Furosemide should not be used during pregnancy unless there are good medical reasons to use it. Furosemid Accord passes into breast milk and you must not breast-feed when you are being treated with Furosemid Accord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Furosemide Accord or other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.

Descriptions of these effects and side effects can be found in other sections. Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.

- In adults, the recommended maximum daily dose is a Furosemide Accord 1,500 mg.<\/li>

Renal impairment:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n- In patients with severe renal impairment ( serum creatinine > 5 mg\/dl), an infusion rate of 2.5 mg Furosemid Accord per minute should not be exceeded.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

- Kidney damage (interstitial nephritis)<\/li>
- Very low white blood cell count (which can lead to life-threatening infection ). Seek medical attention immediately<\/strong>.<\/li>

- Pain or discomfort at the injection site (especially after muscle injection )<\/li>
- The inflammatory disease lupus erythematosus can occur or worsen.<\/li>

- Numbness, tingling, or dizziness<\/li>
- High fever<\/li>
- Blurred vision, confusion, fatigue<\/li>

Very rare (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n- Severe muscle problems including twitching, spasms, cramps ( tetanus )<\/li>
- Blood cell changes that can lead to anemia, inability to fight infection.<\/li>
- Severe abdominal pain due to inflammation of the pancreas<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

- Low levels of sodium, calcium, and magnesium in the blood This can occur due to increased loss of sodium, calcium, and magnesium in the urine.
