  Contraindications
  |
  Known hypersensitivity to furosemide.

  Severe jaundice at risk of bilirubin encephalopathy.

  Precautions
  |
  Commercially available oral furosemide solution contains ethanol and 2 mg/kg/day of solution equates to 1.4 mL/kg/week ethanol intake [equivalent to 1 unit alcohol/week for a man weighing 70 kg].
  If increasing azotaemia and oliguria occur during treatment of severe progressive renal disease, discontinue furosemide.
  Jaundice – furosemide may displace bilirubin from albumin. However, bilirubin displacement is negligible with standard doses.
