💊 Lasix 40mg Tablet
Lasix 40mg Tablet is a prescription medicine containing Furosemide 40mg, a loop diuretic commonly known as a water tablet. It is used to treat fluid retention (edema) associated with heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and kidney disorders, and is also prescribed for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension). By helping the body eliminate excess salt and water through urine, it reduces swelling and decreases the workload on the heart.
Lasix is widely prescribed to relieve swelling in the legs, ankles, abdomen, and lungs caused by fluid overload. It also helps improve breathing in patients with pulmonary congestion due to heart failure. Regular monitoring of kidney function and electrolyte levels is recommended during treatment.
