Introduction About LASIX INJECTION

LASIX INJECTION contains frusemide (furosemide) which belongs to the group of medicines called Diuretics. It is used to manage edema (fluid retention) due to problems with heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, blood vessels or high blood pressure. Parenteral administration of LASIX INJECTION is indicated when a quick and effective removal of excess fluid is required or if the patient cannot take oral medication for any reason. Whenever possible, the patient must be switched to oral medicines in order to avoid unwanted risks of parenteral medication.

During the course of management with LASIX INJECTION, your doctor will recommend you take several blood tests to monitor your blood sugar and uric acid levels as a precaution to avoid unwanted side effects. They may also monitor your blood potassium and sodium levels carefully, especially if you have vomiting or diarrhea. Before receiving this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any kidney, liver or heart problems. LASIX INJECTION is not recommended for use in pregnant women unless clearly advised by the doctor and it is not recommended for use in breast-feeding women.

LASIX INJECTION should be used with caution in children and adolescents (aged under 18 years) under careful medical supervision. Also, it should be used with caution in elderly patients. Consult your doctor before receiving LASIX INJECTION. The common side effects of receiving LASIX INJECTION are vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, dry mouth, thirst and feeling of tiredness. Inform your doctor immediately if any of the side effects worsen or persist for a long period of time.

How LASIX INJECTION Works

LASIX INJECTION contains frusemide which is a loop diuretic which works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the proximal and distal tubules, and in the thick ascending loop of Henle by inhibiting the sodium-chloride cotransport system. As a result, it promotes diuresis (urine output) by enhancing the excretion of water along with sodium, chloride, magnesium and calcium.
