Lasix Tablet

Lasix Tablet is a medicine used to treat conditions that involve excess fluid in the body, such as swelling due to heart failure, kidney disease, or liver problems. It works as a diuretic, which means it helps the body remove extra water and salts by increasing urine output. By lowering fluid buildup, it reduces swelling, improves breathing, and decreases strain on the heart.

Uses
• Management of fluid retention (edema) caused by heart, kidney, or liver disorders
• Treatment of high blood pressure
• Relief from symptoms such as swelling, shortness of breath, or weight gain linked to fluid overload

Benefits
Lasix Tablet helps bring down excess fluid levels in the body, making you feel lighter and more comfortable. It also helps the heart pump more effectively and reduces pressure in blood vessels, thereby lowering the risk of complications like stroke, kidney damage, or worsening heart failure.

Possible side effects
Some people may experience frequent urination, dizziness, dehydration, headache, muscle cramps, or low blood pressure. In some cases, it may cause changes in electrolyte levels. If you notice unusual tiredness, irregular heartbeat, or ringing in the ears, contact your doctor.

How to take it
Take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet with water, with or without food. Since it increases urination, it is best taken in the morning to avoid disturbing sleep at night. Do not stop taking it suddenly without consulting your doctor.

How it works
Lasix Tablet contains Furosemide, which is a loop diuretic. It works by acting on the kidneys to increase the excretion of water and salts, especially sodium and chloride. This helps lower excess fluid in the body and decreases blood pressure.

Precautions

• Inform your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or prostate problems before starting this medicine

• Avoid alcohol, as it may increase dizziness and the risk of dehydration

• Regular monitoring of electrolytes, kidney function, and blood pressure may be needed during treatment

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use it only on medical advice

Missed dose
If you forget to take a dose, take it when you remember. If it is close to the next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular routine. Do not take two doses at once.
