People who have high blood pressure or fluid retention may benefit from Lasix® (furosemide), a prescription medication that is a type of diuretic. Lasix works by increasing the amount of salt and water that the kidneys remove from the blood, reducing blood volume. The medication comes in a tablet form that is usually taken once or twice a day. As with any medication, it is possible to overdose on Lasix. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop any overdose symptoms, such as dehydration, low blood pressure, or low electrolytes.
