A member asked:
I have chf what happens when lasix (furosemide) no longer keeps the fluid off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things: You may need to restrict your salt and fluid intake. You may need a higher dose of Lasix (furosemide) or change to another loop diuretic. You may need additional diuretics which are complementary to the lasix (furosemide). Sometimes lying down and resting after taking the Lasix (furosemide) helps mobilize the fluid. Please talk to your doctor about it.
