Lasix

Lasix, also known as furosemide, is a medication that helps the body eliminate excess fluid. It is often used to treat conditions like heart failure, edema (swelling), or high blood pressure by increasing urine production in the kidneys. This reduces the workload on the heart and decreases fluid buildup in the lungs or legs. While effective, Lasix can cause side effects like dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or low blood pressure, so it should be used under medical supervision. It’s a powerful diuretic that plays an important role in managing certain medical conditions related to fluid retention.
