Function : LASIX(furosemide) 40/100 mg is a diuretic which helps people with edematous syndrome to reduce the amount of liquid in the body. This medication is used to treat edema (excess accumulation of fluid or swelling of the body) that occurs with congestive heart failure and disorders of the liver, kidney and lung. It is also used to control mild to moderate high bloood presure, to treat high levels of potassium (hyperkalemia), calcium (hypercalcemia) and magnesium (hypermagnesemia).

How it works : Furosemide works by blocking the absorption of sodium, chloride, and water from from the filtered fluid in the kidney tubules, causing a profound increase in the output of urine (diuresis). The onset of action after oral administration is within one hour, and the diuresis lasts about 6-8 hours. The diuretic effect of furosemide can cause depletion of sodium, chloride, body water an other minerals. Therefore, careful medication supervision is necessary during treatment. Furosemide was approved by FDA in July 1982.
