ABOUT FUROSCIX

WHEN ORAL DIURETICS AREN’T ENOUGH

TREAT FLUID BUILDUP AT HOME WITH FUROSCIX

HOW FUROSCIX WORKS

FUROSCIX uses furosemide, a common diuretic that allows your kidneys to get rid of any extra fluid your body is holding on to.1 FUROSCIX gives your body a standard dose of furosemide over about 5 hours.1 It is delivered through an On-Body Infusor with a small needle placed just under your skin.
  1. 1.Follow the Instructions for Use to apply the On-Body Infusor to your stomach. The Infusor comes with everything needed to administer a single dose.
  2. 2.Once the Infusor is adhered, it is started with a single button press.2
  3. 3.You will wear your On-Body Infusor for about 5 hours. Try to not bend over while wearing the Infusor.
  4. 4.The Infusor will let you know when it is done working. Dispose of it when finished as it is only used once.

FUROSCIX works as well as IV furosemide at removing excess water in patients with congestion due to heart failure, but can be used in the comfort of home.1,2

Your healthcare provider will put you back on oral diuretics as soon as possible to keep managing your fluid buildup.
