PRECAUTIONS: Tell your doctor if you have: liver disease, kidney disease, gout, diabetes, pancreatitis, lupus, allergies (especially to sulfa drugs). A preservative (benzyl alcohol) which may be found in this product or in the liquid used to mix this product (diluent) can infrequently cause serious problems (sometimes death), if given in large amounts (more than 100 mg/kg daily) to an infant during the first months of life (neonatal period). The risk is also greater with low birth weight infants. Symptoms include sudden gasping, low blood pressure, or a very slow heartbeat. Report these symptoms to the doctor immediately should they occur. If possible, a preservative-free product should be used when treating neonates. This drug is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Discuss the benefits and risks with your doctor. Since furosemide is present in breast milk, consult your doctor before breast-feeding. Furosemide may make you more sensitive to sunlight. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing. Alcohol may intensify side effects. Limit your alcohol intake.
