What is Lasix?

Lasix is the brand name of Furosemide, one of the most commonly prescribed diuretics used for the treatment of edema, swelling, heart failure, liver, kidney and other diseases by increased production of urine.

The therapeutic effectiveness of this medication has been confirmed by data reported in clinical trials. In most cases, furosemide is used as one of the primary components involved in the complex therapy for essential hypertension.
Characteristics of furosemide and forms of release
Furosemide is also the active substance of Lasix and belongs to the pharmacological group of loop diuretics. This pharmacological group aims to remove from the body an increased amount of water due to a decrease in the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the special structure of the renal nephron-the loop of Henle.
Moreover, with Lasix treatment, there is increased bodily excretion of calcium, magnesium, and potassium. These two mechanisms determine the diuretic and hypotensive effects of furosemide. According to the official instructions, the drug acts after a short period and its effects persist for 1.5 to 3 hours.
