What are furosemide tablets?
FUROSEMIDE (Lasix®) belongs to a family of drugs known as "diuretics". Diuretics increase the amount of urine passed, which causes the body to lose water and salt. Furosemide helps to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It is not a cure. It also reduces the swelling and water retention caused by various medical conditions, such as heart, liver, or kidney disease.

What should I take into consideration during Lasix treatment?
Ask your prescriber or health care professional what your blood pressure should be and check it regularly. You must not get dehydrated, ask your doctor how much fluid you need to drink a day. Do not stop taking furosemide except on your prescriber's advice.
You may get dizzy or lightheaded. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness until you know how furosemide affects you. To reduce the risk of dizzy or fainting spells, do not sit or stand up quickly, especially if you are an older patient. Alcohol can make you lightheaded, dizzy and increase confusion. Avoid or limit intake of alcoholic drinks.
Furosemide can make your skin more sensitive to sun or ultraviolet light. Keep out of the sun, or wear protective clothing outdoors and use a sunscreen (at least SPF 15). Do not use sun lamps or sun tanning beds or booths.
Watch your diet while you are taking furosemide. Ask your prescriber or health care professional about both potassium and sodium intake. Furosemide can make your body lose potassium and you may need an extra supply. Some foods have a high potassium content such as bananas, coconuts, dates, figs, prunes, apricots, peaches, grapefruit juice, tomato juice, and orange juice.
Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Lasix before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
Furosemide can increase the amount of sugar in blood or urine. If you are a diabetic keep a close check on blood and urine sugar.
