Generic Lasix/ Furosemide is a "loop" diuretic that works within the kidneys to get rid of excess fluid and sodium (salt).

Generic Lasix (Furosemide) works by blocking the absorption of salt and fluid in the kidney tubules, thus causing increased excretion of water, sodium, and chloride into the urine to be expelled from the body (diuresis). The diuretic effect of Lasix (furosemide) can cause body water and electrolyte depletion. Therefore, careful medical supervision is necessary during treatment.

Furosemide is a potent diuretic which, if given in excessive amounts, can lead to a profound diuresis with water and electrolyte depletion. Therefore, careful medical supervision is required and dose schedule must be adjusted to the individual patient's needs. (See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.)

Generic Lasix Indications and usage

Edema
Generic Lasix is indicated in adults and pediatric patients for the treatment of edema associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and renal disease, including the nephrotic syndrome. Generic Lasix is particularly useful when an agent with greater diuretic potential is desired.

Hypertension
Generic Lasix may be used in adults for the treatment of hypertension (High Blood Pressure) alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents. Hypertensive patients who cannot be adequately controlled with thiazides will probably also not be adequately controlled with Generic Lasix alone.

Generic Lasix Precautions

Take Generic Lasix exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor will adjust the dosages of Generic Lasix to meet your specific needs.

Excessive diuresis may cause dehydration and blood volume reduction with circulatory collapse and possibly vascular thrombosis and embolism, particularly in elderly patients. As with any effective diuretic, electrolyte depletion may occur during Generic Lasix therapy, especially in patients receiving higher doses of Generic Lasix and a restricted salt intake. Hypokalemia may develop with Generic Lasix, especially with brisk diuresis, inadequate oral electrolyte intake, when cirrhosis is present, or during concomitant use of corticosteroids or ACTH. Digitalis therapy may exaggerate metabolic effects of hypokalemia, especially myocardial effects.

All patients receiving Generic Lasix therapy should be observed for these signs or symptoms of fluid or electrolyte imbalance (hyponatremia, hypochloremic alkalosis, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia or hypocalcemia): dryness of mouth, thirst, weakness, lethargy, drowsiness, restlessness, muscle pains or cramps, muscular fatigue, hypotension, oliguria, tachycardia, arrhythmia, or gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea and vomiting. Increases in blood glucose and alterations in glucose tolerance tests (with abnormalities of the fasting and 2-hour postprandial sugar) have been observed, and rarely, precipitation of diabetes mellitus has been reported.

Asymptomatic hyperuricemia can occur and gout may rarely be precipitated.

Patients allergic to sulfonamides may also be allergic to Generic Lasix. The possibility exists of exacerbation or activation of systemic lupus erythematosus.

As with many other drugs, patients should be observed regularly for the possible occurrence of blood dyscrasias, liver or kidney damage, or other idiosyncratic reactions.

Generic Lasix Interactions

Generic Lasix may increase the ototoxic potential of aminoglycoside antibiotics, especially in the presence of impaired renal function. Except in life-threatening situations, avoid this combination.

Generic Lasix should not be used concomitantly with ethacrynic acid because of the possibility of ototoxicity. Patients receiving high doses of salicylates concomitantly with Generic Lasix, as in rheumatic disease, may experience salicylate toxicity at lower doses because of competitive renal excretory sites.

Generic Lasix has a tendency to antagonize the skeletal muscle relaxing effect of tubocurarine and may potentiate the action of succinylcholine.

Lithium generally should not be given with diuretics because they reduce lithium's renal clearance and add a high risk of lithium toxicity.

Generic Lasix may add to or potentiate the therapeutic effect of other antihypertensive drugs. Potentiation occurs with ganglionic or peripheral adrenergic blocking drugs.

Generic Lasix may decrease arterial responsiveness to norepinephrine. However, norepinephrine may still be used effectively.

Simultaneous administration of sucralfate and Generic Lasix tablets may reduce the natriuretic and antihypertensive effects of Generic Lasix. Patients receiving both drugs should be observed closely to determine if the desired diuretic and/or antihypertensive effect of Generic Lasix is achieved. The intake of Generic Lasix and sucralfate should be separated by at least two hours.

One study in six subjects demonstrated that the combination of furosemide and acetylsalicylic acid temporarily reduced creatinine clearance in patients with chronic renal insufficiency. There are case reports of patients who developed increased BUN, serum creatinine and serum potassium levels, and weight gain when furosemide was used in conjunction with NSAIDs.

Literature reports indicate that coadministration of indomethacin may reduce the natriuretic and antihypertensive effects of Generic Lasix (furosemide) in some patients by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Indomethacin may also affect plasma renin levels, aldosterone excretion, and renin profile evaluation. Patients receiving both indomethacin and Generic Lasix should be observed closely to determine if the desired diuretic and/or antihypertensive effect of Generic Lasix is achieved.
