| 5 | | 5/17/2004 | 1 | Heart | This killed my father | M | 74 | 1X day | 12/24/2010 | 4 | Edema for now ! | none that i can actually say. I feel that a little tiredness is from peeing a lot.I'd rather pee a lot then put my heart all through that extra water fluid to carry. And, i am not a small lady. i am 5'7" 3/4.So, weighing what i do now which is close or on 200 is an awful feeling of unwanted retention. | I would tell you all to just give it a try. Of course, it may be a life saver for Me. I have had no relief from swelling (edema) for over 3 years or more now,gained over 50 + pounds more then i wanted to.I don't eat a lot of garbage and, food really has nothing to do with it. Its the fact that HBP,Heart Disease and, Edema are my biggest targets. Give it a few days to atleast Work. No, one likes going pee a lot but, I'd rather pee a lot, feel somewhat tired and, know that i can sleep and, not feel so bloated all the time. I have lost close to 5 pounds already. Now, thats unwanted water (fluid) as far as i am concerned .I don't need to carry that around everyday.My heart doesn't need to work that hard because my Body can't get rid of the bad toxins naturally. Now, i could end up not liking all the peeing and,unusual little tiredness but, people believe me when i do say, PLEASE---> give it sometime. I will keep you posted as to how i feel and, what happens.

I retain fluid and causes me to swell and get bloaded and difficulty bleeding as well as chest pain. Once i remove the fluid i feel great | Sure makes u pee alot | F | 25 | 1 days 40mg | 8/15/2017 | 1 | swollen legs and ankles | Within a few hours had hot, red, burning rash on lower legs causing permanent damage to skin. Had to use wet bandages for months and my legs will NEVER be the same. | Do NOT take this drug!!!!! | F | 67 | 1 days 20 mg 1X day | 1/5/2016 | 1 | labile Blood Pressure | F | 65 | 1 days 20 mg 1X day | 5/21/2011 Patient History | 1 | Swelling of feet & legs | Heart pounding fast & hard, BP lying down with feet elevated 176/78.

Much fatigue | My feet & legs are still swollen & there is a lot of fluid sounds through you my upper abdomen | F | 78 | 2 days 20mg | 11/11/2015 | 3 | EXTREME swelling in both feet | 20 lb weight gain since taking lasix, even though I urinate 30-40 times per day - I also have intercistal cystitis. During the night my hands draw up like I have severe arthritis. Bloated stomach, short term memory loss, extremely dry mouth, very lethargic. | While the lasix did relieve the swelling in my feet, which the doctor's never determined what caused it, and I lost 6 lbs. overnight, the weight was back up the very next day. I have gone from 126 lbs to 145 lbs since september, and I am not eating more than I use to. The pain in my hands and drawing up in them at night is very painful. I also have dizziness and am very sleepy in the a.m., even after a good nights sleep. Well, I wouldn't call it so good, due to the fact that I am up every hour on the hour urinating, and I take my pill early in the a.m. | F | 47 | 2.5 days | 7/17/2006 | 3 | congestive heart failure in 2004 | dry mouth, dizziness, bloated stomach, sleepy, feeling tired, and walking too slow. I take one pill daily in the early am 20 mg tablet. And, need to visit the bathroom every l 1/2 hour about 5-6 times a day. | I am better. I took what the doctor prescribed...lasix, potassium, diovan for my bloodpressure, and correg for my heart since 2004 so that is 3 years but always felt tired with no energy and hardtime breathing. In late 2005, I was desperate condition...I found a natural alternative product called stem enhance that after 1/2 hour taking my first two pills.. made me breath better again, able to talk on the telephone, climb upstairs, and walk in the mall. So there is hope...stem enhance gave me back my life. | F | 63 | 3 days | 7/17/2006 | 4 | CHF High BP retains fluid in belly | Urinate till it dries me out, sleepy, some chest pain after taking potassium with it. Only last a couple of seconds. Fingers and toes tingling from time to time. Don't want to write a bible but you can contact me and can compare symptoms :-) | Only concerned about losing potassium because too low could kill you. And my kidneys & liver are fine now, but lasix can make that worse I believe | F | 39 | 7 days 10mg 1X O | 9/30/2020 | 2 | hypertension | Not many side effects yet, other than not sleeping well and dry mouth. Only on it one week so far | The potassium supplement seems to be more of a problem than the lasix but I am afraid to stop it without doctor approval. I have had bleeding stomach ulcer this past year and reading the side effects does not make me feel comfortable! | F | 59 | 7 days | 2/21/2007 | 2 | Hypertension | Reduced my kidney function dramatically! | F | 59 | 17 days | 4/20/2009 | 3 | High Blood pressure | I am very sleepy, not tired, but have moments of sleepiness. I also am experiencing swelling in the lower legs. | F | 46 | 30 days | 5/21/2003 | 1 | Water retention, swollen ankles | I was getting horrible chest and lower jaw pain. I thought I was having a heart attack. I called my cardiologist and he checked me out and said it was panic attacks (I am going through alot of stress). I stopped lasik for a week and the chest and jaw tightness went away. So, I am going to assume it was Lasik. Will stop again and see what happens. | F | 54 | 30 days 20mg 1X day | 8/24/2012 | 5 | Hypertension, slight edema | Perhaps slightly tired at times but that might be my imagination and the dark days of December-January! | Diuresis is remarkable and 3 pounds in several hours is welcome. It's doing a nice job on my blood pressure. I had hoped that 40 mg. in the morning would be enough but I need to take an additional 40 mg. in the evening for more consistent BP control. It replaced thiazides which I had been taking for decades which gave me consistently low serum sodium. Blood tests in the works to see the effects of Lasix on sodium and potassium. Fingers are crossed. Extremely low price is a nice plus. | M | 62 | 40 days | 1/17/2006 | 2 | Reduce fluids | Inadequate erections.. | Poor erections - full but soft and rubbery even with Viagra and a cockring. Penetration has become a real challenge because I've been accident prone (premature ejaculation) all my life. I've read that this (impotence) is not an uncommon side effect with this particular medication. | M | 63 | 45 days 40 mg 1X day | 4/11/2013 | 5 | blood pressure | none | I've been taking lasix recently for 2 weeks but I have been on it in the past without side effects and it works well at controlling my blood pressure, The only reason I stopped taking it before was because I no longer needed a second bb pill at the time due to weight loss and exercise..(I also take lisinopril) | 2 weeks 20 1X day | 1/11/2015 | 5 | Peripheral Edema in Feet and Ankles | Feeling a little tired but managed it with High Potassium foods. You need a bathroom available at all times. | I had Elephant feet, literally and Lasix 80mg twice a day solved the problem within a week. I still have the swelling but way less than without Lasix. I recommend this medication. Before taking Lasix make sure it won't intract with other meds you may be taking. Always ask your doctor or pharmacist. | M | 40 | 2 weeks | 9/17/2009 |
LASIX (FUROSEMIDE): Furosemide is used to reduce extra fluid in the body (edema) caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease. This can lessen symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling in your arms, legs, and abdomen. This drug is also used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Furosemide is a "water pill" (diuretic) that causes you to make more urine. This helps your body get rid of extra water and salt. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
