Abstract: Let $0\le p,q,r\in\mathbb R, p+2r\le(1+2r)q$, and $1\le q$. Furuta (1987) proved that if bounded linear operators $A,B\in B(H)$ on a Hilbert space $H$ $(\dim(H)\ge 2)$ satisfy $0\le B\le A$, then $(A^r B^p A^r)^{1/q} \le A^{(p+2r)/q}$. In this paper, we prove that the range $p+2r\le (1+2r)q$ and $1\le q$ is best possible with respect to the Furuta inequality, that is, if $(1+2r) q<p+2r$ or $0<q<1$, then there exist $A,B\in B(\mathbb R^2)$ which satisfy $0\le B\le A$ but $(A^r B^p A^r)^{1/q}\nleq A^{(p+2r)/q}$.
