Relief Programs

The Hellenic Initiative Australia has committed more than AU$2 million in grants, supporting dynamic Greek not-for-profit organisations whose far-reaching programs are helping people throughout Greece.

Through our partner charities, THI Australia has helped provide millions of meals and in-kind goods and services, supported the homeless, equipped regional hospitals to provide lifesaving care for children, funded preventive and specialist medical care for people living in remote islands and supported vulnerable communities across Greece.

In 2019, through the generosity of donors such as Con Berbatis, $500,000 was committed for public health initiatives in Greece over the next five years.

Strengthsinjectable solution Edema associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), liver cirrhosis, and renal disease, including nephrotic syndrome Alternative: 20-40 mg IV/IM once may be increased by 20 mg q2hr individual dose not to exceed 200 mg/dose 0.5-1 mg/kg (or 40 mg) IV over 1-2 minutes may be increased to 80 mg if there is no adequate response within 1 hournot to exceed 160-200 mg/dose Acute renal failure: 1-3 g/day may be necessary to attain desired response avoid use in oliguric states Infants and children: 1-2 mg/kg IV/IM/PO once initially increased by 1-2 mg/kg q6-8hr (PO) or 1 mg/kg q2hr (IV/IM) individual dose not to exceed 6 mg/kg Excessive diuresis may cause dehydration and electrolyte loss in elderly lower initial dosages and more gradual adjustments are recommended (eg, 10 mg/day PO) Increase in blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and loss of sodium may cause confusion in elderly monitor renal function and electrolytes Toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, erythema multiforme, drug rash with eosinophila and systemic symptoms, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, exfoliative dermatitis, bullous pemphigoid purpura, pruritus Agent is potent diuretic that, if given in excessive amounts, may lead to profound diuresis with water and electrolyte depletion Risks of fluid or electrolyte imbalance (including causing hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, gout), hypotension, metabolic alkalosis, severe hyponatremia, severe hypokalemia, hepatic coma and precoma, hypovolemia (with or without hypotension) Efficacy is diminished and risk of ototoxicity increased in patients with hypoproteinemia (associated with nephrotic syndrome) ototoxicity is associated with rapid injection, severe renal impairment, use of higher than recommended doses, concomitant therapy with aminoglycoside antibiotics, ethacrynic acid, or other ototoxic drugs To prevent oliguria, reversible increases in BUN and creatinine, and azotemia, monitor fluid status and renal function discontinue therapy if azotemia and oliguria occur during treatment of severe progressive renal disease FDA-approved product labeling for many medications have included a broad contraindication in patients with a prior allregic reaction to sulfonamides however, recent studies have suggested that crossreactivity between antibiotic sulfonamides and nonantibiotic sulfonamides is unlikely to occur In cirrhosis, electrolyte and acid/base imbalances may lead to hepatic encephalopathy prior to initiation of therapy, correct electrolyte and acid/base imbalances, when hepatic coma is present High doses (> 80 mg) of furosemide may inhibit binding of thyroid hormones to carrier proteins and result in transient increase in free thyroid hormones, followed by overall decrease in total thyroid hormone levels In patients at high risk for radiocontrast nephropathy furosemide can lead to higher incidence of deterioration in renal function after receiving radiocontrast compared to high-risk patients who received only intravenous hydration prior to receiving radiocontrast Observe patients regularly for possible occurrence of blood dyscrasias, liver or kidney damage, or other idiosyncratic reactions Hearing loss in neonates has been associated with use of furosemide injection in premature neonates with respiratory distress syndrome, diuretic treatment with furosemide in the first few weeks of life may increase risk of persistent patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), possibly through a prostaglandin-E-mediated process Excessive diuresis may cause dehydration and blood volume reduction with circulatory collapse and possibly vascular thrombosis and embolism, particularly in elderly patients Increases in blood glucose and alterations in glucose tolerance tests (with abnormalities of fasting and 2 hour postprandial sugar) have been observed, and rarely, precipitation of diabetes mellitus reported Patients with severe symptoms of urinary retention (because of bladder emptying disorders, prostatic hyperplasia, urethral narrowing), the administration of furosemide can cause acute urinary retention related to increased production and retention of urine these patients require careful monitoring, especially during initial stages of treatment Hypokalemia may develop with furosemide, especially with brisk diuresis, inadequate oral electrolyte intake, when cirrhosis is present, or during concomitant use of corticosteroids, ACTH, licorice in large amounts, or prolonged use of laxatives Pregnancy category: C treatment during pregnancy necessitates monitoring of fetal growth because of risk for higher fetal birth weights Loop diuretic inhibits reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions at proximal and distal renal tubules and loop of Henle by interfering with chloride-binding cotransport system, causes increases in water, calcium, magnesium, sodium, and chloride Metabolite: Glucuronide (2-amino-4-chloro-5-sulfamoylanthranilic acid [saluamine]) (activity

mg/min for short-term intermittent infusion in children, give 0.5 mg/kg/min, titrated to effect To view formulary information first create a list of plans. Worsening behavior and suicidal tendencies that are not part of the presenting symptoms may require discontinuation of therapy.
