About FUROSEMIDE

Furosemide is a medication aligned to the HCPCS J Code: J1938 for billing, pricing, and reimbursement purposes in the United States. This Diuretic medication is administered via the intramuscular or intravenous routes and manufactured by multiple companies.

According to CMS Drug Use Information: Furosemide is used to reduce extra fluid in the body (edema) caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease. This can lessen symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling in your arms, legs, and abdomen. This drug is also used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Furosemide is a "water pill" (diuretic) that causes you to make more urine. This helps your body get rid of extra water and salt.
