LASIX Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is LASIX?
LASIX is the brand name for furosemide and is available as an oral tablet and solution.
What dosages is LASIX available in?
LASIX is available as a 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg oral tablet and a 10 mg/ml and 40 mg/5 ml oral solution.
What is LASIX used for?
LASIX is a loop diuretic that is used to treat swelling (edema) due to heart failure, liver problems, or kidney problems and high blood pressure.
How does LASIX work?
LASIX is a loop diuretic (water pill) that makes you urinate more. It works in the kidneys to get rid of extra water and electrolytes (like sodium and potassium), which helps ease swelling and lowers blood pressure.
How do I take LASIX?
LASIX is typically given in dose ranges from 20 mg to 80 mg by mouth once. Your physician will adjust your dose depending on how your body responds to this medication. You typically take furosemide (Lasix) once or twice daily. Your child’s pediatrician will determine the dose for your child based on their body weight.
Is it safe for me to take LASIX?
LASIX is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you have anuria.
