Lasix (furosemide) and weight los: When somebody is on Lasix or furosemide you want to make sure they do daily weights to make sure they're not gaining weight and that they're losing excess body water. Also when somebody's on Lasix is important to have daily potassium replacement by eating two bananas a day or other Foods highly Laden with potassium.
