GenLabs Lasix (Furosemide) 40mg

GenLabs Lasix 40mg contains Furosemide, a prescription medication belonging to a class of medicines known as loop diuretics. It is commonly prescribed to reduce excess fluid accumulation (edema) and may also be used in the management of high blood pressure.

Furosemide increases the amount of salt and water removed by the kidneys, helping decrease excess fluid in the body. It may be prescribed for edema associated with conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, and certain kidney disorders.

HOW DOES FUROSEMIDE WORK?

Furosemide acts primarily in a part of the kidney called the loop of Henle, where it reduces the reabsorption of sodium and chloride.

This causes the kidneys to eliminate more sodium and water through urine. Reducing excess fluid can help decrease swelling and, in appropriate patients, relieve symptoms associated with fluid overload.

Its diuretic action can also contribute to lower blood pressure.

DOSAGE

Furosemide dosing varies considerably depending on the condition being treated, severity of fluid retention, kidney function, response to treatment, and other medications.

Furosemide 40mg should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Because it increases urination, doses are often scheduled earlier in the day when appropriate.

Do not increase, decrease, or discontinue Furosemide without medical guidance.

• Reduce Excess Fluid Retention
