Lasix is used to treat high blood pressure and edema (fluid retention). High blood pressure is a dangerous—potentially fatal—condition in which the heart is met with too much resistance from blocked or narrowed arteries as it tries to pump blood and oxygen around your body. High blood pressure can lead to serious health issues, including heart attacks, heart failure, strokes, and many more complications when not treated. Nearly half of Americans have high blood pressure, and heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.
Edema is the medical term for swelling caused by fluid trapped in the body’s tissue. This swelling is often a symptom, not a condition, caused by diverse medical problems, including inactivity, venous insufficiency, heart failure, kidney disease, and more. Edema commonly leads to swelling, difficulty with movement, and difficulty breathing. When left untreated, excess fluid in the body can increase blood pressure.
By lowering fluid buildup in the body, Lasix helps lower blood pressure. It should be noted that Lasix is prescribed along with a healthy diet and physical exercise to reduce blood pressure. Doctors do not use Lasix alone to treat high blood pressure.

When left alone, excess fluid in the body can increase the susceptibility of edema, leading to swelling, difficulty with movement, and breathing problems. This condition is often a symptom, not a condition, caused by underlying medical conditions, which can include obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension, depression, and more. Obesity can increase the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other health conditions, and can also lead to a condition known as heterotremia, where the heart doesn’t work as well as it should. Because edema and swelling are two different conditions, they can be caused by many different things, including genetics, diet, stress, and more.Lasix 40mg tablet contains an active ingredient called Furosemide which belongs to the medication class known as diuretics. It is used to treat edema (excessive water accumulation) and high blood pressure. Edema can be caused by various underlying issues such as heart, lung, kidney, or liver problems. This helps the kidneys to remove excess water, which is not needed by the body.

Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high. The higher this blood pressure, the harder the heart has to pump. As a result, it leads to heart disease, irregular heartbeat, and other complications. Oedema may occur in cases of high blood pressure where fluids of the body get trapped in the tissues of the hands, arms, feet, ankles, and legs, leading to swelling.
Furosemide works by increasing the amount of urine that is passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease. This reduces the risk of complications such as heart attack, stroke, or urinary incontinence as well as reduces the risk of all other complications such as pain, itching, swelling, and other side effects.
For further guidance, consult the leafy notice/support statement, the leaflet, answer a question, or ask questions about furosemide. If you are facing any problem, do not use it. Contact your doctor or pharmacist for more information. It is not right to give medicine to your child.

A 37-year-old Caucasian female presented to our emergency department with a history of anorexia nervosa and a history of weight gain of 15-30 kg at the time of presentation. She was started on 500 mg furosemide per day for 5 days, followed by 500 mg tamsulosin per day for 10 days. After discontinuing tamsulosin and furosemide, her weight decreased to 30 kg and increased to 45 kg over the course of 5 days, with no change in her glucose levels. On admission, her serum creatinine level was increased to 5.4 mg/dL, and she was diagnosed with mild to moderate renal insufficiency, which was consistent with chronic renal failure.
At presentation, her baseline fasting serum creatinine level was 6.2 mg/dL, but her creatinine clearance was only 1 mL/min. Her serum electrolytes, including potassium, chloride, magnesium, and bile acid levels were within normal limits. Her serum protein electrophoresis was also normal, but there was a rise in serum albumin and an increase in serum albumin excretion. Her urine glucose was normal.
The patient was diagnosed with acute ischemic renal failure with acute renal failure with acute pancreatitis. The patient had no other comorbidities nor had any other medications. The patient was started on a low dose of furosemide, which was started at 1 mg/d for 5 days. On the 5th day, her creatinine level returned to normal, and she was discharged home with the following: increased serum creatinine of 5.4 mg/dL, creatinine clearance of 1.5 mL/min, and serum protein electrophoresis of 4.8 mg/dL.
The patient has continued to improve, and the creatinine clearance has been reduced to 1.5 mL/min. Her serum potassium level is normal and her creatinine level is within the normal range.
This patient's creatinine level was 2.4 mg/dL, but her creatinine clearance was only 1.5 mL/min. Her serum albumin level is within the normal range, and the serum albumin excretion is within the normal range.
The patient had no other comorbidities nor had any other medications, and her serum protein electrophoresis was normal.
The patient's urine glucose was normal. The patient is currently receiving furosemide, and her creatinine clearance is normal. The patient's creatinine level is within the normal range.
