I have Congestive Heart Failure and am allergic to all sulfur drugs. The doctor has prescribed just about all of the non-sulfur type diuretics, but these have not been successful, and I have had to deal with one side effect or another. My doctor said that I really needed to be on Lasix to help control the fluid in my lungs and the swelling in my feet and abdomen. However, with my allergy to sulfur drugs, he was trying to find a solution.
