Furosemid

General information Furosemid

In medical practice, the drug furosemide is used to remove excess fluid from the body. In sports, it can be purchased without a prescription for the same purpose - to get rid of swelling. This diuretic is also effective in weight loss and "drying".

The action of the drug is aimed at increasing the excretion of water from the body through the urinary system, which can lead to water loss and a decrease in body weight. This property allows you to quickly lose weight before competitions, maintaining or even reducing the weight category without losing muscle mass. In addition, the drug helps to achieve a more expressive relief of muscles, as it eliminates swelling.

Usually in sports and bodybuilding, the reception of furosemide is carried out in the form of tablets, but there is also an injectable form. In the first case, the drug is taken orally, in the second case - injections are made intravenously or intramuscularly. Be sure to consult a trainer or sports doctor regarding the choice of the most suitable form of the drug, dosage and course timing.

Pharmacological properties

For professional bodybuilding, furosemide is relevant as a means for weight loss due to its rapid action compared to most similar drugs. It stimulates metabolism and eliminates oedema, acting as a diuretic rather than a fat-burning agent.

Furosemide is a diuretic that acts on the cellular structures of the kidneys, including the apparatus of the ascending part of the loop of Henle. This mechanism of action leads to blocking the reverse absorption of sodium and chlorine, which helps to increase their excretion by urine. Due to this property, the drug increases the excretion of sodium, chlorine and water, causing an increase in urine volume. This effect is especially important in conditions of fluid retention in the body caused by taking anabolic steroids.

The drug is able to reduce the volume of circulating blood by reducing sodium and water retention, which is beneficial for the heart, vascular system and in hypertension.

The tablet form of the drug begins its action about an hour after ingestion. In the case of the injectable form, the action can come even faster.

Indications for the use of Furosemid

Furosemide, as a diuretic, is widely used in medicine to manage oedema and remove excess fluid from the body. In sports, it is also popular for drying or weight loss purposes due to its effectiveness in drying and fat burning courses. It is capable of eliminating many of the side effects of taking steroids.

For instance, in case of oedema caused by side effects of anabolic steroids, this drug helps to reduce fluid retention and improve cardiovascular functioning.

The drug has also been found to have a positive effect on cases where the kidneys are unable to effectively remove excess fluid from the body. Adding this drug to a steroid regimen significantly enhances its effectiveness by minimising health risks.

The drug may be indicated in the absence of dependence on diuretics, so it is important to undergo a medical examination with a doctor beforehand to check the kidney function.

Course of taking 

Even when using the drug for non-medical purposes (such as sports), it is recommended to get a doctor's advice to determine the optimal dosage.

Usually, for weight loss, the starting dosage for adults is 20-40 mg taken in the morning before meals (1 tablet or half a tablet depending on the dosage). If necessary, the dosage can be increased gradually up to 80-160 mg per day, divided into 2-3 doses with intervals of 6 hours.

The drug is also available as an injectable solution and can be administered intravenously or intramuscularly, depending on the doctor's recommendations. This form of application is suitable for combating excess fluid accumulation and helps to quickly eliminate oedema.

Possible side effects

As this medicine is a diuretic, it may cause excessive fluid loss and dehydration, which may be manifested by dry mouth, decreased urine volume, thirst and other signs of dehydration. It is recommended to drink enough fluids to prevent this condition.

The drug can increase the excretion of sodium, potassium and other electrolytes in the urine, causing an imbalance of these and can lead to symptoms such as weakness, irregular pulse and seizures.

In some people, taking diuretics causes low blood pressure, dizziness, arrhythmias and muscle weakness.

Long-term use of the drug affects kidney function, causing problems in kidney function. The level of uric acid in the blood may increase, which increases the risk of gout or formation of kidney stones. Therefore, it is recommended to strictly follow the doctor's recommendations regarding the course of intake and provide a break between cycles (at least 1 month) in accordance with the instructions for furosemide.
