FUROSCIX keeps it simple

FUROSCIX is sent to you as a kit with everything you need for each dose.

The kit includes:

  • The FUROSCIX Instructions for Use
  • One cartridge of medicine
  • A one-time-use device that is preset for your treatment
  • Alcohol wipes

FUROSCIX was designed for ease of use at home

To make sure of this, the team at FUROSCIX met with real patients to test the device. The participants had no trouble using the device or understanding the Instructions for Use.1

The FUROSCIX Instructions for Use will show you how to get ready for your treatment and load your medication into the device.

Adhere the device to your stomach as shown in the Instructions.

While you have the FUROSCIX device in place, you can perform many normal, at-home activities that do not move or bump the device.

The device will tell you when it is done working and can be removed. It can only be used once, so please dispose of it when finished.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT USING FUROSCIX

Try to not bend over while wearing the FUROSCIX device.

Your heart failure care team will determine:

  • When you need FUROSCIX to treat fluid buildup
  • How many doses to use—FUROSCIX is not for daily use
  • If and when follow-up visits may be needed after treatment

NOTE: It’s important to stay at home and near your bathroom while using FUROSCIX.

You might complete the treatment for fluid buildup without using all of the FUROSCIX doses your care team gives you. Any unopened boxes can be stored in a safe place at room temperature for the next time a dose may be needed.

FUROSCIX doses can be stored for at least 9 months and up to 2 years. Please check the expiration date on the package before using FUROSCIX.
