Drug Uses
Lasix is used for treatment of high blood pressure or water retention (swelling) associated with congestive heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease. It may also be used for other situations as recommended by your physician.
How Taken
Use Lasix as recommended by your physician. To avoid stomach upset take Lasix with a meal. If you take cholestyramine, colestipol, or sucralfate, ask your physician or pharmacist how to take them with Lasix. Lasix may increase the amount of urine or cause you to urinate more often when you first start taking it. To keep this from disturbing your sleep, try to take your dose before 6 pm (18:00).
More Information
Lasix can cause dizziness or blurred vision. These effects may worsen if Lasix is taken with alcohol or certain other drugs. Take Lasix with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly negative tasks until you know how you respond to this drug. If your symptoms do not improve or if they worsen, ask your doctor. This product should be used only by the patient for whom it has been directed. Don't take less or more or take it more often than determined by your doctor.
