I had requested Lasix or a generic for it from a new doctor, as I had a few times in the past, and this was prescribed. Since I didn t recognize this name I was reluctant to take it. My problem in fluid retention here in this hot humid climate of Hawaii. I m on other meds and don t want to be causing problems for myself.
Hi, The generic name for Las ix is Furosemide. It is a diuretic used for fluid retention.  If you are also suffering from high blood pressure, I'd suggest taking them exactly as directed by your cardiologist and to keep monitoring your blood pressure.  If you are suffering from any kidney disease, I'd suggest doing urinalysis as scheduled by your nephrologist to check for the albumin level.  All the best! Chat Doctor.
