Frequently asked questions
When should I take Lasix 40?
In the morning, so that the heavy urination happens during the day. If a second dose is prescribed, take it in the early afternoon, not at bedtime.
How quickly does Lasix work?
The tablet starts working within about an hour and the effect lasts around 6 hours. You will pass a lot of urine during that time.
Can I take Lasix 40 with alcohol?
Avoid it. Alcohol dehydrates you further and drops blood pressure, and the combination can make you faint.
Does Lasix lower potassium?
Yes, furosemide makes you lose potassium in the urine. Your doctor will check blood levels and may add a potassium supplement or spironolactone. Report weakness, cramps or palpitations.
