Pat621I take Lasix for Congestive Heart Failure. I have heard that there are safer drugs than Lasix. Can?. anyone give me some names so I can ask my Doctor? I take 20 mg twice a day, but it also doesn't seem to help much.
What other safer drugs than Lasix can I take for congestive heart failure?

i think you mean to say furosemide which is lasix. aldactone is also known as spironolactone and is really good for chf as i previously stated.
