How to Order Furosemide

Order Forusemide

<h2><strong>Do you have worsening problems while taking a loop diuretic like furosemide?</strong></h2><p>In 2021 the FDA approved a new loop diuretic called SOAANZ (torsemide). SOAANZ is a new formulation of torsemide that<br><br> SOAANZ <strong>releases drug more slowly</strong> than generic versions of torsemide and therefore there isn't such a high spike of drug in your blood after taking it. This key different may help improve bladder issues those experience while taking torsemide, but also allows the medication to work for a longer period of time. </p><p style="background-color:#FFFFFF; border: 2px dotted #8DA3A8; text-align:center;">Learn more about <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/soaanz" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">SOAANZ (torsemide) and how to access it through Marley Drug</a>.</p>

<p>Some of you may refer to this type of medication as your maintenance medications, recurring medication, or long-term medication. At Marley Drug we call it Wholesale Price List.</p><p>Whatever you call it, there is growing support among physicians and pharmacists that filling these types of medications in 6- and 12-month supply may be better for patients and the healthcare system as a whole.</p>

<h3>What is Marley Drug's Wholesale Price List?</h3>

<p>Our Wholesale Price List offers medications in longer durations than is typically done, in 6-month or 12-month supply.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/wholesale-price-list" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marley Drug's Wholesale Price List</a> garnered national attention in 2012 when it was first launched. The list was built with the patient in mind. One prescription fill, one-fixed price, and free home delivery for over 100 generic medications (<a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/wholesale-price-list-medications" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">see full list</a>).</p>

<p>There are many obvious <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/5-reasons-why-filling-your-medications-in-extended-supply-may-save-you-time-and-money" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">benefits of filling prescriptions in a longer supply</a> when it comes to cost convenience for patients. However, a new online survey conducted amongst 400 cardiologists, endocrinologist, primary care practitioners and pharmacists survey suggests that there may also be a health benefit for patients as well!</p>

<img src="https://marley-storage.imgix.net/2a64df35-2117-4875-a600-a9ad50326082/BL-202202-longersupply.png">

<h3>Benefits of Marley Drug's Wholesale Price List</h3>

<p>When it comes to long-term maintenance medication to manage chronic illnesses, 84% of those surveyed agreed that prescribing in 6- and 12-month quantities could increase patient’s adherence and management of their chronic condition. In terms of safety, 89% of physicians and 72% of pharmacist felt that writing these types of medications would be safe to patients.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:5px;">Among physicians surveyed, they agreed that longer fills of medications would lead to:</p>

<ul><li>Improved adherence—83%</li>
<li>Fewer pharmacy visits—91%</li>
<li>Less frequent refills—97%</li>
<li>Reduced administrative load—91%</li>
</ul>

<p style="margin-bottom:5px;">Among the 100 pharmacists surveyed they said longer fills would:</p>

<ul>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Improve convenience—96%</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Reduce cost—80%</li>
</ul>

<h3>Risks of Longer Fills</h3>

<p>Longer fills aren't perfect and do present some potential risk or problems for patients as well.</p><p>For example, if the medication was not effective for the patient 92% agreed there would be leftover medication and 87% acknowledged that there would be no cost reimbursement for that unused medication.</p>

<p>51% of those surveyed also felt that refilling medications may be more difficult to remember as it isn’t being done as frequently.</p>

<p>65% also agreed that there is a risk that patients may not store the medication properly.</p>

<h3>Most Physicians Would Write Longer Prescriptions…If They Could</h3>

<p>In fact, 93% said they would write for a 6-month supply and 78% said they would write for a 12-month supply.</p>

<p><strong>So why don’t they?</strong> This has a lot to do with the rules set in place by insurance companies and healthcare plans in the U.S. Typically there is a quantity limit set for medications only allowing up to a 30-day or 90-day fill. Other times insurance companies will create rules/pathways patients must go through, called <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/are-prior-authorizations-good-for-patients" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">prior authorizations</a>.</p>

<p>In this survey, 77% said that insurance limits refills to 30 days for some medications, 91% agreed that insurance companies can alter their choice of medication(s) for their patients.</p>

<h3>The Take Home</h3>

<p>94% of healthcare providers surveyed said if insurance wasn’t a barrier, they would write in 6-to-12-month supply to help patients save more.</p>

Taking a Long-Term Maintenance Medication?

<h2>The Importance of Your Kidneys</h2>

<p>World Kidney Day, a global campaign aimed at raising awareness on the importance of our kidneys for our overall health, takes place annually on the 2<sup>nd</sup> Thursday of March. By raising awareness, we hope to educate people on this topic so we can reduce the frequency and impact of kidney disease and its associated health problems on our population.</p>

<p><strong>The kidney’s primary role is to remove toxins and excess water from the blood and excrete it through our urine.</strong> These functions play a major role in controlling blood pressure, balancing the minerals in our blood such as sodium and potassium, and help keep our bones healthy. Between 8&ndash;10% of the adult population has some form of kidney disease; each year, millions die prematurely due to complications related to chronic kidney disease (CKD).</p>

<h2>What is CKD?</h2>

<p>After the age of 40, kidney filtration begins to fall by approximately 1% per year; along with natural aging, this is one of the reasons why it is important to start getting your healthcare provider to check your kidney function with every yearly visit. Blood and urine tests by your healthcare provider help monitor the function of your kidneys.</p>

<div style="border-left:5px solid #fee203; padding-left:20px; padding-right:5%; font-size:1.2em;">
<p><strong>CKD is defined as a progressive loss in kidney function and can increase your risk of premature death from associated cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks or strokes.</strong> Structures within the kidneys called nephrons help filter your blood. If these slowly get damaged, they will not be able to filter your blood properly, resulting in the development of disease. If detected early, CKD is treatable and deterioration of the kidneys can be slowed or stopped, therefore reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications. Unfortunately, early CKD has very few signs or symptoms, meaning that patients can quickly progress to a point where the damage is irreversible.</p>
</div>

<p>Deterioration of function below a certain point is known as kidney failure. Kidney failure can affect your whole body, will make you very ill, and if untreated, could be life-threatening. Kidney failure frequently results in the need for regular dialysis treatment or a kidney transplant for continued survival; both of which can be a tremendous health and financial burden for the affected patient.</p>

<h2>Causes of CKD</h2>

<p>A person can lose up to 90% of their kidney function before experiencing any symptoms of CKD.</p>

<img src="https://marley-storage.imgix.net/107de4b2-b0f1-4fc2-b802-12cd180eb025/BL-CKD-symptoms.png" alt="Chronic kidney disease symptoms" width="600" height="auto" style="display:block; max-width:100%;">

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;">Most symptoms do not appear until the more advanced stages and include:</p>

<ul>
<li style="padding-bottom:0px; margin-bottom:0; ">swollen ankles</li>
<li style="padding-bottom:0px; margin-bottom:0; ">fatigue</li>
<li style="padding-bottom:0px; margin-bottom:0; " >difficulty concentrating</li>
<li style="padding-bottom:0px; margin-bottom:0; " >decreased appetite</li>
<li style="padding-bottom:0px; margin-bottom:0; " >bloody or foamy urine</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>High blood pressure and the presence of diabetes are the most common causes of CKD.</strong></p>

<h2>Are you at a high risk for kidney disease?</h2>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;">To know if you are at a higher risk for kidney disease here are some questions to ask yourself:</p>

<ul>
<li style="margin-bottom:0;">Do you have diabetes?</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:0;">Do you have high blood pressure?</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:0;">Have other people in your family had kidney disease?</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:0;">Are you considered overweight?</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:0;">Do you smoke?</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:0;">Are you over the age of 50?</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:0;">Are you of African, Hispanic, Aboriginal or Asian descent?</li>
</ul>

<p>If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you may benefit from talking to your healthcare provider about testing for kidney disease. Early detection is key to the prevention of these severe diseases.</p>

<h2>Treatment</h2>

<p>Although there is no cure for CKD, treatments can help slow or halt the progression of the disease and can prevent other conditions from developing. The main treatment is proper diet and medications, but for those who reach end stage renal disease, long term dialysis or a kidney transplant are the only treatment options.</p>

<p>Dialysis is a process where you are connected to a machine that essentially acts as an external kidney. Since your kidney is no longer functioning properly, waste products and excess fluids will start to accumulate in your blood. Your blood is therefore pumped through this machine, which removes any of these excesses that have accumulated. Once the blood has been cleaned it is returned to the body. Dialysis is usually performed 3 times per week and each session takes anywhere between 3 – 5 hours to complete.</p>

<p>A kidney transplant is when a healthy donor organ is put into your body to replace the kidney that is no longer functioning properly. This usually increases your quality of life as your kidney will start performing its job correctly again and the toxins in your body will start to be eliminated effectively. The biggest hurdle that is faced with transplantation is that there is a shortage of organs available for donation. Therefore, many people end up on a wait list for a transplant and will require dialysis until an organ becomes available.</p>

<a name="CKD prevention"><h2>Prevention</h2></a>

<p>There are some ways to reduce your risk of developing kidney disease, though it is still important to get your kidney function tested annually by your healthcare provider.</p>

<img src="https://marley-storage.imgix.net/107de4b2-b0f1-4fc2-b802-12cd180eb025/BL-CKD-prevention.png" alt="Things you can do to prevent chronic kidney disease" width="600" height="auto" style="display:block; max-width:100%';">

<ul>
<li><strong>Controlling blood pressure:</strong> High blood pressure (hypertension) can damage your kidneys which can accelerate CKD development. There are medications that you can take to help keep your blood pressure within a normal range and help prevent other issues from developing. These medications include diuretics, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors and more!</li>

<li><strong>Healthier Lifestyle:</strong> The health of your kidneys is tightly correlated to your overall health and lifestyle. By maintaining an ideal body weight, reducing your salt intake, eating healthier and drinking lots of fluids, you can help decrease your blood pressure which can in turn decrease your risk of CKD and other conditions associated with it.</li>

<li><strong>Control your blood sugar:</strong> Diabetes is a large contributor to CKD and unfortunately approximately half of the people who have diabetes are unaware. This is why it is important to get your blood sugar levels checked by your healthcare provider annually as it can help with early detection of many diseases.</li><li><strong>Don’t smoke:</strong> Smoking actually slows down the blood flow through your body including the blood that goes to the kidneys. This can result in a decrease in function due to less oxygen making it to the kidneys. Smoking also increases your risk of kidney cancer by approximately 50%.</li>

<li><strong>Don’t take anti-inflammatory/pain-killer medications regularly:</strong> Many people do not realize that these types of medications are actually harsh on your kidneys. This includes over-the-counter forms such as ibuprofen (Advil<sup>®</sup>). Since it is your kidneys that need to excrete these substances, taking them regularly can damage them and over time decrease their function. If you have kidney disease or decreased kidney function, speak with your healthcare provider before using them, as even a few doses can cause great harm to your kidneys.</li>

<p>Approximately 50% (116 million) of adults in the United States struggle with high blood pressure, causing critical health problems, including heart failure, heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.</p>
</div>

<h3>What is Blood Pressure?</h3>

<p>Blood pressure is defined as the force of blood that pushes against your artery walls. Your heart generates this force by pumping out blood through your arteries when it contracts with every heartbeat. As your blood flows, it places pressure on the artery walls, creating blood pressure.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:10px;">Your blood pressure reading is measured as 2 values that determine whether your blood pressure is normal, high, or low:</p>

<p><span style="border-bottom:.15em solid #fee203"><strong>1. Systolic pressure:</strong></span> A force that develops as blood pumps out of your heart and into the circulatory system's arteries when your heart beats. It is the top and higher number on your reading.</p>

<p><span style="border-bottom:.15em solid #fee203"><strong>2. Diastolic pressure:</strong></span> A force that's produced when your heart rests between heartbeats. It is the bottom and lower number on your reading.</p>

<p>Blood pressure is essential because, without this force, oxygen and nutrients wouldn't be able to move around the circulatory system, causing a lack of nourishment to tissues and organs.</p>

<h3>What is High Blood Pressure?</h3>

<p>High blood pressure (HBP), commonly known as <strong>hypertension</strong>, is a condition that occurs when the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your blood vessels is continuously too high.</p>

<p>HBP is referred to as the “<strong>silent killer</strong>” because it may be asymptomatic (no symptoms), which can delay your diagnosis and can contribute to medication non-adherence in those being treated for HBP. Although you may not feel that anything is wrong, HBP silently harms your health.</p>

<p>Uncontrolled HBP increases your risk of critical health problems, such as heart problems, including stroke and heart attack, as well as kidney failure.</p>

<h3>How is HBP Diagnosed?</h3>

<p>HBP is diagnosed by an inflatable arm cuff that's placed around your arm by your doctor and/or nurse, and it measures your blood pressure using a pressure-measuring gauge. This blood pressure monitor provides 2 numbers that make up your blood pressure; your systolic and diastolic readings.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:5px;">Your blood pressure measurements may consist of these categories:</p>

<ul>

<li><span style="border-bottom:.3em solid #78D16D;"><strong>Normal blood pressure:</strong></span> Your blood pressure is considered normal if it’s less than 120/80 mm Hg (120 systolic over 80 diastolic).</li>

<li><span style="border-bottom:.3em solid #EEF11D;"><strong>Elevated blood pressure:</strong></span> Your blood pressure is considered elevated, also referred to as “pre- hypertension,” if your systolic pressure ranges from 120-129 mm Hg, and your diastolic pressure is below 80 mm Hg. If appropriate actions aren't taken to control your elevated blood pressure, it may worsen over time.</li>

<li><span style="border-bottom:.3em solid #F1AC1D;"><strong>Stage I hypertension:</strong></span> Your blood pressure falls into HBP, stage 1, if your systolic pressure ranges from 130-139 mm Hg or your diastolic pressure ranges from 80-89 mm Hg.</li>

<li><span style="border-bottom:.3em solid #F15B1D;"><strong>Stage II hypertension:</strong></span> Your blood pressure is considered more severe if your systolic pressure is 140 mm Hg or higher or your diastolic pressure is 90 mm Hg or higher.</li>

<li><span style="border-bottom:.3em solid #F11D1D;"><strong>Hypertensive crisis:</strong></span> If your blood pressure measurement is higher than 180/120 mm Hg, it is considered an emergency situation that requires urgent medical attention.<br>

<em>If you receive this outcome after measuring your blood pressure at home, wait 5 minutes and then test again. If your blood pressure is still so high, call your doctor right away. If you experience any chest pain, vision problems, numbness and/or weakness, dyspnea (difficulty breathing), or other signs or symptoms of a stroke or heart attack, call 911 or your nearest emergency medical number.</em></li>

</ul>

<h3>How Do I Know If I Have HBP?</h3>

<p>HBP may not have any symptoms, even if your blood pressure readings become too high. That’s why it is crucial to have your <strong>blood pressure checked regularly</strong>.</p>

<p>Although these symptoms are <strong>not</strong> specific to HBP, if your blood pressure is dangerously high, you may want to watch for signs that include:</p>

<ul> 
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Nosebleed</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Confusion and/or fatigue</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Vision issues</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Severe headaches</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Chest pain</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Difficulty breathing</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Irregular heartbeat</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Blood in the urine</li>
</ul>

<h3>How Can I Prevent HBP?</h3>

<p>Lifestyle modifications can help you maintain healthy blood pressure and prevent HBP. Here's what you can do:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Maintain a healthy body weight</strong> based on your doctor’s recommendation. Losing weight if you’re overweight, or maintaining a healthy weight can aid in blood pressure control and decrease your risk of serious health problems.</li>

<li><strong>Eat a balanced diet.</strong> You should maintain a heart-healthy diet, such as eating more fruits and vegetables. This type of diet is referred to as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), which consists of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, poultry, fish, and low-fat dairy foods. Reducing saturated fat and trans fat in your diet, as well as consuming more potassium, such as bananas and spinach, can help you maintain a balanced diet.</li>

<li><strong>Decrease sodium in your diet</strong>, such as salt intake. Your salt intake should be limited to less than 1,500 mg a day.</li>

<li><strong>Regular exercise</strong>. Physical activity can help you decrease your blood pressure and keep your weight under control. Walking for at least 30 minutes a day, most days of the week can go a long way by decreasing your risk of many health conditions.</li>

<li><strong>Decrease stress</strong> as much as possible. Regular exercise and a lot of sleep can help you manage stress. Learning relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or mindfulness, can decrease your blood pressure.</li>

<li><strong>Reduce your alcohol consumption</strong>. Alcohol has been shown to increase your blood pressure, even in healthy individuals. Healthy adults should practice moderate alcohol intakes, such as 2 alcoholic beverages a day for men, and 1 alcoholic beverage a day for women.</li>

<li><strong>Quit smoking</strong>. Tobacco has the ability to damage your blood vessel walls and increase plaque buildup in your arteries.</li>

<li><strong>Monitor your blood pressure at home</strong> and keep a daily log of your blood pressure measurements. Your daily log can be reviewed by your doctor to evaluate whether or not your blood pressure medications have been working effectively or not.</li>
</ul> 


<h3><a name="bp medications">Which High Blood Pressure Medication Should I Take?:</a></h3>

<p>Your blood pressure measurements, age, ethnicity, and overall health determine the type of medication your doctor may prescribe. Don’t stop taking your medication without talking with your doctor first. Otherwise, you may increase your risk of having a stroke or heart attack.</p>

<h3>Pregnant Women</h3>

<p>Pregnant women with chronic hypertension should receive medication treatment if their systolic blood pressure is greater than 160 mmHg or their diastolic blood pressure is greater than 105 mmHg. ACE inhibitors and ARBs have a black box warning (the strictest warnings for prescriptions) for fetal harm, and should not be taken by pregnant women.</p>

<p>The drug of choice for pregnant women that are hypertensive, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), is methyldopa, which lowers blood pressure through the central nervous system and has the lowest risk of harming a fetus, labetalol, and nifedipine ER.</p>

<h3>African Americans</h3>

<p>African Americans have a higher risk of developing HBP at an earlier age and have the ability to be more severe. Some medications, such as those belonging to the drug class ACE inhibitors or ARBs, may not be as effective in lowering blood pressure in African Americans as they do in other ethnicities.</p>

<p>The drug classes that are recommended for African Americans with HBP are thiazide diuretics and CCB.</p>

<h3>Talk With Your Doctor</h3>

<p>If you think you may have high blood pressure, speak with your doctor and have your blood pressure checked out. Certain medications, such as over-the-counter cold medicines, pain medications, antidepressants, birth control pills, and others, can increase your blood pressure. Remember to make a list of the medications and supplements that you’re taking and bring it to your next doctor's appointment.</p>

<p>HBP should never go untreated. Talk to your healthcare provider and send your prescription to Marley Drug. Save up to 95% compared to your local pharmacy by using Marley Drug.</p>
