For Pulmonary Edema "Great relief for getting fluid out of my lungs. I had not needed to use it for quite some time. But I became infected again with a serious viral bronchitis and have had to administer furosemide once or twice a day at 20mg to dry out. it works like magic. I'm prescribed 40mg but break it half. The only issue I'm having is you can't see inside, so you don't exactly"

For High Blood Pressure "Furosemide 40mg pill works wonders for me. I have no complaints. Humana is presently filling my prescription and they've changed my furosemide, an entirely different pill that has a 17 imprinted instead of what has been working that has a 40mg imprinted. I have just spoken with Humana and was advised to have another pharmacy fill the furosemide 40mg going forward. I am not able to wear shoes because of the fluid, which has me extremely swollen in my body and my kidneys can't handle the pressure of the fluid throughout my body, lungs, and heart. I will pay for my prescription. I just want my body to not appear like I'm blown up. Everything is tight or just not fitting."

Lasix (furosemide) "I feel like I have to pee almost constantly. Sometimes I don't get there on time and have begun using special liners to handle leaks. I used to take my Lasix early in the morning. Then I discovered that I couldn't really go anywhere or do anything because I'd constantly have to go to the bathroom. Those places included dental offices, doctor's offices, banks, grocery stores, and restaurants. I was terrified of even being invited to someone's home for lunch or dinner, afraid I'd have to leave a couple of times mid-meal, disrupting everyone else! The good news is I'm still alive. Without it, I probably wouldn't be."
