You should include for diabetics that it raises blood sugar. In me: drastically.
I was prescribed by my cardiologist Furosemide 20 mg. which I took in the morning; I had to go to the bathroom up to 5 times an hour for up to 8 hours. Worse side effect It affected my hearing and damage can be permanent. I stopped taking it after a few week and never took it again!

@@patriciaoreilly8907 The doctor is supposed to inform me about side effects. He's my heart doctor; Need to visit his office in a few days; called their office to confirm and they don't answer the phone, sent them mail; tomorrow I have to drive to their office and will give them a piece of my mind. Finding a doctor can be taxing!

My dad was diagnosed with CHF 5 months ago when I had to take him to the ER since he couldn’t breathe. They gave him a lasix intravenously and after two hours of filling the urinal multiple times he was fine and he felt absolutely normal. He has not been prescribed lasix. He just takes amilodipine, metoprolol and lisinopril. Now 5 months later he has developed a swollen foot and a little out of breath. We’ve given him lasix 20mg and potassium 20hcq for a day and while his breathlessness has resolved his foot is still quite swollen. Can we give it him lasix 20mg for a few days for the foot to resolve?

Lasix doesn't always work for me. Most times I use it I don't pee at all. Just a couple drops. I have to find something else like spironolactin to be able to pee.
Why you keep twisting to the side is that another side effect
