A member asked:
A patient who is taking furosemide at 0800 and 1500, bp is low (90/48), do u hold his regular dose of furosemide?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Depends: If this is normal BP for the pt and they do not feel poorly might consider continuing. Otherwise it would be reasonable to hold a dose.

If dehydrated: Furosemide is a diuretic which is used for treating heart failure or other fluid overload conditions. Blood pressure can be low if someone is dehydrated. Low blood pressure can also be due to other medications or due to underlying medical condition.
