Lasix (furosemide): Lasix (furosemide) is a safe drug as long as you are being monitored by your doctor while you are taking the medication. For some disease states, patients stay on the drug for many years. The drug reduces the body's free water volume and causes wasting of some electrolytes. Your physician will need to monitor your weight, blood pressure, physical exam, and labs (kidney function and electrolytes).
