WHEN IT COMES TO FLUID BUILDUP, FUROSCIX HAS YOU COVERED
When fluid builds up even while taking oral diuretics, it may be time to bring in some extra help.
What is Furoscix?
What is Furoscix?
FUROSCIX is an at-home treatment for fluid buildup from heart failure or chronic kidney disease. FUROSCIX is delivered quickly just under your skin (subcutaneously) with a device called an “autoinjector.”
FUROSCIX was designed to be easy to use at home and has been shown to work just as well as an intravenous (IV) diuretic in suitable patients. Just like an IV diuretic, FUROSCIX is not meant for everyday use or to replace your daily oral diuretic. After taking FUROSCIX, your care team will put you back on your everyday diuretic as soon as possible.
WHAT MAKES FUROSCIX DIFFERENT THAN OTHER AT-HOME TREATMENTS?
Because FUROSCIX is delivered under your skin, it can enter your bloodstream more quickly. This allows your body to absorb all of the medicine it needs.
After some simple preparation, the FUROSCIX autoinjector can be used in seconds. You may already be familiar with autoinjectors from other medications.
Thanks to these differences, FUROSCIX is able to quickly stop fluid buildup without you ever leaving home.
FUROSCIX 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 care team may check your electrolytes while you are receiving FUROSCIX.
