The following adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Fluid, Electrolyte, and Metabolic Abnormalities Ototoxicity The following adverse reactions associated with the use of furosemide were identified in clinical studies or postmarketing reports. Because some of these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Adverse reactions are categorized below by organ system and listed by decreasing severity.
