Furosemide injection shortages

April 26, 2018

Manufacturers are currently unable to supply furosemide 50mg/5ml injections and do not have a date when supply will become available.

Pharmacies are however receiving intermittent supplies of 20mg/2ml and 250mg/25ml.

Please consider if your patient could have oral furosemide instead of intravenous.

Also consider reviewing patients receiving intravenous furosemide regularly and step down to oral as soon as clinically possible.
