Question 1

i took 80mg of lasix (furosemide) and did not urinate, should i be concerned ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If you're 25 years old, and taking lasix, (furosemide) there is some problem that is quite complex. While it takes some time to work, there are many issues with chronic diuretic use. You should call your doctor today. Hope this helps!

Question 2

why would i urinate as i'm walking uncontrollably while taking lasix?

Accepted Answer

Greater volume urine: First of all the Lasix makes more urine, hence your bladder fill up quickly. From here there could be two possibilities: 1- you may have over active bladder and you cannot control the urine when the urge to urinate strikes. Hence with Lasix due to large volume of urine the urine leaks out witout your control. 2-  underlying stress urinary incontinence ( leakage upon coughing) gets worse.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

No: Odds are great that you will test positive for cocaine metabolites for several days. Your history of using cocaine while on probation suggest a serious problem with cocaine. Recommend you ask your po for a referral to a substance abuse treatment facility.

Question 4

lasix (furosemide) prescription 20mg every other day.  lasix (furosemide) dose has started to cause decrease in urine compared to days when it isn't taken?  thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Tolerance vs dry: After taking Lasix (furosemide) for awhile, like many other medications, you build tolerance and are less sensitive to the medication at the same dose.  Another possible cause is that you have been dried out by the Lasix (furosemide) and are actually a little dehydrated, which leads to lower urine output.  Call your doctor to see if dose needs to be adjusted.

Question 5

how does lasix (furosemide) for low urine output help?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause.: Lasix (furosemide)'s a medicine / poison that tricks the kidneys into losing urine while the drug is around. It can damage the kidneys if urine production is shut down as a defense mechanism. However, if the kidney is shutting down because it's not getting enough blood (because the heart is too overburdened with fluid to pump effectively) then Lasix (furosemide) will be helpful in unloading excess fluid &amp; helping the hear

Question 6

what vitamin or vitamins help one urinate excess fluid, like lasix (furosemide) would?

Accepted Answer

Vit. B6 and Vit. C: Vitamin b6  has diuretic effects and rids your body of excess fluids, in the form of urination.

Vitamin c is not stored in your body and can also have a diuretic effect.  Be sure you check with your doctor.  Avoid dehydration.

Question 7

is taking lasix dangerous if you are not having trouble urinating? can it cause swelling in your groin area?

Accepted Answer

: Lasix would not be a cause of swelling in the groin. More likely causes would be an inguinal hernia, a local varicosed vein or enlarged lymph glands. Lasix, a potent diuretic, can 
 cause of low serum potassium,dehydration and can raise serum uric acid &amp; blood sugar. . You don't mention why you are to take lasix.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Diuretic: Could be dry, low bp, worse renal function, and more....

Question 10

4months ago my cardiologist added spitactin 25mg and lasix 20mg. from a week ago i started to urinate very hour  and sometimes every 10min. pleasr help.

Accepted Answer

Diuretics: Hi,
It's the spitactin and lasix that are causing you to urinate so frequently. It sounds like your cardiologist may be using these medications to help manage a more serious disease and you should talk to them to ask if there are alternative medications you can take instead. Hope this helps
