Brands > Lasix

I have had swelling in my legs for years and I got a new Doctor who prescribed Lasix. I finally do not have paddles for feet! At first I lost 40 Pounds but 13 have creeped back on. It does not work as well as it did in the beginnig but it is a lot better than before I started taking it. I have a genetic blood disorder and the fluid does not return from my legs very well. Lasix has helped a lot and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I was prescribed Lasix every other day when it was discovered that my blood potassium levels were too high. It has helped to bring the potassium level down to a normal range. Side effects were minimal.

My mother had been experiencing swelling of her legs. After doing tests, the doctor determined it was not congestive heart failure, but just "old age" and poor circulation. So he prescribed Lasix every morning. The swelling did go down, but not as much as he would have liked, so instead of upping the dosage, he added Zaroxolyn every other day. She continues to take Lasix on a regular basis and it does a decent job of keeping most of the swelling away, but the Zaroxolyn is also needed, as we determined when a new doctor suggested she stop using it. At age 92, the new doctor is also afraid to up the Lasix dosage, so we are keeping everything status quo, since it seems to work. The only side effect is having to go to the bathroom a lot!
