Lasictone F 20mg Tablet 10's

Lasictone F 20mg Tablet contains Furosemide 20mg and Spironolactone 50mg, a combination of diuretics used to treat fluid retention (edema) and high blood pressure.

Benefits

This medication helps remove excess salt and water from the body, reducing swelling and fluid overload. It also works to prevent potassium loss, which is common with some diuretics, thereby maintaining electrolyte balance. Lasictone F aids in controlling high blood pressure and improves symptoms associated with heart and liver-related conditions.

• Resistant hypertension (high blood pressure) that does not respond to standard diuretic therapy.
