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)

 3  mitral valve regurgitation Worked well with only dry mouth side effect for one year. Then started to develop muscle cramps in both hamstring muscles. These became so severe that I could hardly walk or sleep. So have stopped Lasix. Gained 6 lbs of water right away; hope muscle cramps will go away. Good diuretic, as long as you don't get any major side effects as I did. M 76 1.5 years
