What Is Furosemide 20mg?
Furosemide is the generic form of Lasix, a loop diuretic that works in the kidneys to increase the amount of salt and water removed in urine. This helps reduce fluid buildup (edema) in the body, which can ease swelling and shortness of breath. Furosemide is commonly prescribed for edema related to congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and kidney disease, including nephrotic syndrome. It is also used alone or with other medicines to treat high blood pressure.
