Is it safe to take lasix (furosemide) while pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: Lasix (furosemide) is not know to cause birth defects. However, it can cause low potassium levels and, sometimes, rapid loss of fluid through urination. If it is needed to control swelling, it needs to be monitored closely by a nephrologist. Blood tests to confirm the kidney status and potassium level need to be done frequently during the pregnancy. Avoid becoming dehydrated.
