Product introduction

Frucenic Injection belongs to a group of medicines called diuretics. It is used for the emergency treatment of very high blood pressure (hypertensive emergency), as it reduces the blood pressure immediately. It also rapidly reduces the swelling (edema) caused by too much water in the body.

Frucenic Injection helps your body get rid of extra water and salt through urine. It is commonly used to treat people with excess fluid build-up due to heart failure, liver or kidney disease. It is injected into a vein under the supervision of a doctor. Your doctor may monitor your blood pressure after giving this medicine.

Common side effects of this medicine include dizziness, weakness, dehydration, decreased potassium level in blood, increased blood uric acid, decreased magnesium level in blood, and increased thirst. These are usually mild and disappear after a short time. Consult your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.

Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any liver problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it. Regular monitoring of kidney function tests and electrolyte levels is important while using this medicine.

It may reduce the potassium level in your blood so your doctor may ask you to add potassium-rich foods to your diet (such as bananas, coconut water, etc.) or prescribe supplements. Any medication that is advised by your doctor for the long-term treatment of your underlying condition should be continued even after this emergency injection.


Benefits of Frucenic Injection

In Treatment of Hypertensive emergency

Frucenic Injection blocks the effect of some chemicals on your heart and blood vessels. This slows down the heart rate and helps the heart beat with less force thereby lowering your blood pressure. This medicine is injected into a vein under the supervision of a doctor. It is used for immediate reduction of very high blood pressure (hypertensive emergency). A controlled blood pressure reduces the risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or kidney problems.

In Treatment of Edema

Frucenic Injection works by increasing the amount of urine produced. This helps your body get rid of extra water thereby relieving symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling in your arms, legs, or abdomen. This will help you go about your daily activities more easily and make you more confident about being active. Frucenic Injection is given as an injection by a doctor in the dose and duration that is best for you. This medicine should not be self-administered. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and make appropriate lifestyle changes to help this medicine be effective.

FAQs

Q. How is Frucenic Injection different from Torasemide?

Both Frucenic Injection and Torasemide are loop diuretics. They are used to treat high blood pressure and edema caused by an underlying liver, kidney or lung diseases. Unlike Torasemide, Frucenic Injection is also used in the treatment of hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in the blood). Torasemide has a longer duration of action and is safer to use in patients with renal failure, as compared to Frucenic Injection.

Q. Should you drink a lot of water when taking Frucenic Injection?

It is advised to take an adequate amount of water if you are taking Frucenic Injection. This is because Frucenic Injection works by eliminating the extra fluid and electrolytes from your body by increasing the urine production. This elimination of fluids may increase the chances of dehydration if you sweat a lot, exercise vigorously or if the climate is hot. However, if you have kidney or heart problems, you must consult your doctor who will suggest the amount of water that you should be taking. Consult your doctor for any further query or concern.

Q. What is Frucenic Injection used for?

Frucenic Injection is used in emergency conditions to lower very high blood pressure (hypertensive crisis). It effectively lowers and normalizes blood pressure rapidly, thus preventing heart attack or stroke. It also helps to remove excess fluids and electrolytes from the body and reduces swelling (edema) due to fluid retention.

Q. What are the side effects of Frucenic Injection?

The most common side effects of Frucenic Injection are dizziness, weakness, dehydration, decreased potassium and magnesium levels in blood and increased thirst. You may also notice some injection site reactions such as swelling, pain and redness. However, these are temporary and usually resolve on their own. Consult your doctor if the symptoms persist for long or worry you.

Q. How long does a Frucenic Injection last?

A. Frucenic Injection starts acting as early as five minutes and its effect lasts for about two hours. Frucenic Injection may cause depletion of sodium, chloride, water and other minerals from the body. Therefore, close monitoring is required if a person is being treated with Frucenic Injection.

Q. What other lifestyle changes should I make while taking Frucenic Injection?

Lifestyle changes play a major role in keeping you healthy. Stop smoking and taking alcohol as this helps in lowering your blood pressure and preventing heart problems. Exercise regularly and take a balanced diet that includes whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables and fat-free products. Avoid taking excess salt in your diet. Practice yoga or meditation and find ways to reduce or manage stress in your life. Ensure that you have a sound sleep every night as this also reduces your stress and hence helps in keeping your blood pressure normal. Consult your doctor if you need any further help to get maximum benefit of Frucenic Injection and to keep healthy.

Q. Can Frucenic Injection cause weight gain?

No, Frucenic Injection does not cause weight gain. On the contrary, you may lose weight as it makes your body get rid of the excess of fluids from your body.
