Yes,I agree I was given a new extra medication for my blood pressure & an additional watt pill= Furosemide,which is "JUST THE NAME OF GENERIC "LASIX" & If u have gained some weight for whatever reason & your doctor does know about the weight gain & how ya pretty much gained the unwanted fluid weight, LASIX "THE GENERIC NAME IS FUROSEMIDE (furosemide) Its actually a very good water pill & taken as directed with a ton of water (literally just water) & eating as healthy as ur budget let's you,you should start seeing the lossage of the weight. I hope my input helped u in sum way, I just was browsing hand saw ur inquiry & was like, "wow..all to familiar" & decided to share just a little bit of info and I do hope this helps you in any way.
You take them according to the directions on your label. It isn't a weight loss pill, it will make you loose a little weight because you'll pee it out but that's it.
Furosemide IS what is commonly referred to as a "water pill". Not likely to cause any significant weight loss unless the weight or the appearance of the weight is due to edema, or fluid build-up. For weightloss information contact a weightloss clinic or visit our website for some useful information. There are many products available to assist with weight loss as supplements (be careful: some supplements increase heart rate and blood pressure) or meal replacements.
