Lasifru 100mg Tablet 10's

Lasifru 100mg Tablet contains Furosemide 100mg, a potent diuretic primarily used to treat fluid retention (edema) caused by various conditions like heart failure, liver, or kidney disease, and also to manage high blood pressure.

Benefits

Furosemide helps the body eliminate excess salt and water by increasing urine production, which effectively reduces swelling and lowers blood pressure. This action helps alleviate symptoms associated with fluid overload and supports cardiovascular health.

• Edema caused by cirrhosis of the liver.
• Fluid retention due to renal disease, including nephrotic syndrome.
• Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.

Precautions and Safety

• Furosemide is a potent diuretic; excessive amounts can lead to severe water and electrolyte depletion, causing dehydration. Your doctor will monitor your fluid and electrolyte levels.
• Avoid getting up too quickly from a sitting or lying position to prevent dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when starting treatment.
• Limit exposure to sunlight and tanning beds, as this medicine can increase skin sensitivity to the sun. Use sunscreen and wear protective clothing outdoors.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, as furosemide can interact with certain drugs, including some antibiotics, antiseizure drugs, and NSAIDs.
• If you are diabetic, monitor your blood sugar levels closely, as furosemide may cause an increase.

Side Effects and Risks

• Common side effects may include increased urination, dizziness, headache, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation.
