A doctor has provided 1 answer
Help: Lasix (furosemide) is a diuretic and will help pull fluid out of the body and reduce the burden on the heart. However, it is a potent drug that can cause dehydration and loss of some minerals. It should therefore only be used under the supervision of a physician.
