Tell your healthcare provider about all of the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Lasix ONYU and other medicines may affect each other, causing side effects or change how the medicines work.
During use of the Infusor, you should limit your activities so that your bending movements are limited. Wearing the Lasix ONYU Infusor while riding in a car or riding in an airplane is not recommended. Be sure you have access to a bathroom after starting the infusion.
Dehydration: Lasix ONYU can cause you to lose excess water and electrolytes. Symptoms of excess water and electrolyte loss include dry mouth, increased thirst, muscle pains or cramps, decreased urine output or urine more yellow than normal, headache, dry skin, nausea or vomiting. Your healthcare provider may check your electrolytes while receiving Lasix ONYU.
Low Blood Pressure: Lasix ONYU may cause your blood pressure to decrease temporarily. You may feel lightheaded or dizzy, particularly when you stand up. Getting up slowly may help.
High Blood Sugar: If you have diabetes mellitus, Lasix ONYU may increase blood glucose levels.
Loss of Hearing: Lasix ONYU can cause ringing in your ears. Tell your healthcare provider if you have trouble hearing while taking Lasix ONYU.
The most common side effects with Lasix ONYU are administration site and skin reactions such as: bruising, redness, swelling and infusion site pain.
These are not all the possible side effects of Lasix ONYU. For more information, including medical advice about side effects, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Please see Lasix ONYU full Prescribing Information and Instructions for Use.
Lasix ONYU is contraindicated in patients with anuria, patients with a history of hypersensitivity to furosemide, any component of the Lasix ONYU formulation, or medical adhesives, and in patients with hepatic cirrhosis.
Furosemide may cause fluid, electrolyte, and metabolic abnormalities, particularly in patients receiving higher doses, patients with inadequate oral electrolyte intake, and in elderly patients. Serum electrolytes, CO2, BUN, creatinine, glucose, and uric acid should be monitored frequently during furosemide therapy.
Excessive diuresis may cause dehydration and blood volume reduction with circulatory collapse and possibly vascular thrombosis and embolism, particularly in elderly patients.
Furosemide can cause dehydration and azotemia. If increasing azotemia and oliguria occur during treatment of severe progressive renal disease, discontinue furosemide.
Cases of tinnitus and reversible or irreversible hearing impairment and deafness have been reported with furosemide. Reports usually indicate that furosemide ototoxicity is associated with rapid injection, severe renal impairment, the use of higher than recommended doses, hypoproteinemia or concomitant therapy with aminoglycoside antibiotics, ethacrynic acid, or other ototoxic drugs.
In patients with severe symptoms of urinary retention (because of bladder emptying disorders, prostatic hyperplasia, urethral narrowing), the administration of furosemide can cause acute urinary retention related to increased production and retention of urine. These patients require careful monitoring, especially during the initial stages of treatment.
The most common adverse reactions with Lasix ONYU administration in clinical trials were site and skin reactions including erythema, bruising, edema, and injection site pain.
