Lasix 40 Tablet

Lasix 40 mg Tablet is used in the treatment of oedema and high blood pressure. It treats oedema (fluid overload) associated with heart, liver, kidney or lung disease.

In High blood pressure

Lasix helps the kidneys pass out extra salt and water, which lowers the volume the heart has to pump and brings blood pressure down.

In Heart failure

Lasix clears the fluid that collects in the lungs and legs when the heart is weak, so breathing is easier and the swelling in your ankles goes down.

In Fluid retention

Lasix makes you pass more urine so that trapped fluid leaves the body, relieving swelling and the heaviness and discomfort that go with it.
