Description
Active Ingredient: Furosemide
Lasix works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions in the kidneys, leading to increased urine output. This helps reduce fluid buildup in the body, relieving symptoms such as swelling (edema) in the legs, arms, or abdomen.
The typical starting dose of Lasix for adults with hypertension is usually 20 to 80 milligrams taken once daily. For edema, the initial dose is typically 20 to 80 milligrams taken once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the condition and the individual’s response to the medication.
