Exclusion

  • Any surgical or medical condition, which in the opinion of the Investigator may pose an undue risk to the subject, interfere with participation in the study, or which may affect the integrity of the study data.
  • Positive test for hepatitis B (HBsAg), hepatitis C (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at Screening.
  • Any positive urine drug screen at Screening or clinic admission.
  • Concomitant use of any drugs known to interact with furosemide.

  • Any positive alcohol test on admission to the CRU.
  • History of severe allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to furosemide.
  • Donation of greater than 100 mL of either whole blood or plasma within 30 days prior to study drug administration.
