No black box warning on record for Furosemide

As of the latest FDA labeling reviewed, Furosemide (furosemide) does not carry a black box warning. Standard warnings and precautions still apply — see the full Furosemide medicine page for the complete safety profile.

Other warnings & precautions

Electrolyte Monitoring: Furosemide can cause significant electrolyte losses, particularly potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium. Hypokalemia is the most common and clinically important, as it can cause cardiac arrhythmias (especially in patients on digoxin). Regular electrolyte monitoring is essential, particularly during initiation or dose changes.
Volume Depletion: Excessive diuresis can cause dehydration, hypotension, hypovolemia, and acute kidney injury. Monitor urine output, weight, blood pressure, and renal function. Daily weight monitoring helps detect fluid imbalance.
Ototoxicity: Loop diuretics can cause dose-related, reversible or irreversible hearing impairment. Risk is highest with rapid IV administration of high doses. Administer IV doses slowly (maximum 4mg/min for doses >120mg). Risk is dramatically increased with concurrent aminoglycoside antibiotics.
Sulfonamide Allergy: Furosemide contains a sulfonamide moiety. Although cross-reactivity with sulfonamide antibiotics is uncommon, exercise caution in patients with known sulfonamide antibiotic allergy.
