Lasix, the brand name for furosemide, is a potent loop diuretic used to treat fluid retention (edema) caused by conditions like heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disorders. It also effectively manages high blood pressure by reducing excess fluid in the body.
Lasix acts on the kidneys to eliminate excess salt and water through urine, decreasing blood volume and pressure. Its rapid onset (within 30-60 minutes) makes it ideal for quick relief of fluid buildup and hypertension. It is available in oral, injectable, and liquid forms.
Lasix is prescribed by licensed healthcare providers to patients diagnosed with edema or hypertension. The appropriate dosage depends on individual health status and response. Providers on Klarity Health evaluate your condition during a virtual consultation before prescribing.
Typically, Lasix is taken once or twice daily. Your provider will determine the correct dose based on your medical condition. It’s important to follow the prescribed instructions and inform your provider of any side effects or concerns.
The price varies depending on insurance coverage and pharmacy. Generic furosemide is generally affordable. Klarity Health’s online platform offers transparent pricing for consultation fees, which include evaluation and prescription if appropriate.
Lasix offers rapid relief with a short duration, making it suitable for immediate symptom management. For longer-lasting effects, medications like torsemide may be preferred. Lasix is more potent for acute fluid removal compared to thiazide diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide.
