Lasix, a "water pill", is used to reduce swelling and fluid retention caused by various medical problems, including heart or liver disease. It is also used to treat high blood pressure. It causes the kidneys to get rid of unneeded water and salt from the body in the urine. Furosemide is sometimes prescribed for other uses; Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
How should Lasix be used?
Lasix comes as a tablet and liquid to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day in the morning or twice a day in the morning and afternoon. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any parts you do not understand. Take furosemide exactly as directed. Do not take more or less, or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Lasix controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Keep taking furosemide even if you feel fine.
