Lasix Without a Prescription

Lasix^® (

furosemide) is a medication used for treating high blood pressure and fluid retention caused by various conditions, such as congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, and kidney failure. It is not available without a prescription. Lasix is licensed for treating high blood pressure and fluid retention in adults, but is only approved for treating fluid retention in children and infants.

As a diuretic, Lasix works by increasing the amount of salt and water the kidneys remove from the blood. This extra salt and water is then passed out through the urine. By increasing the amount of water removed from the blood, Lasix causes a decrease in blood volume. As a result, the medication can lower blood pressure and can help with water retention.

While most people do not have any problems while taking this prescription drug, Lasix is not suitable for everyone. For instance, you may not be able to safely use it if you have diabetes, kidney disease, or electrolyte problems. You also may not be able to take this medicine if you are currently taking certain medications, including some vitamins, herbal supplements, and nonprescription drugs.
