"First time taking. I worked two 12s without compression stockings, got 4+ putting edema to both feet and ankles. Dr. prescribed Lasix 40, and I took one dose and used the compressions, and I was fine. A year later, I spent 5 days in 35+ heat and came home with the same edema. I used one dose of the Lasix, wore compression for 12 hours, and did some legs up the wall for about 10 mins. My swelling was completely gone within two days and stayed away. I’m 24."

"I took my 40 mg today, have peed 5 times in the past 2 hours. Other than that, so far I feel fine. This is a first for me to ever take a water pill, but so far it seems to do its job."

"Best medication I have found and it works. I have tried OTC fluid pills and some other prescription fluid pills, none of them work as well as the Lasix / Furosemide."

"I have taken Lasix for a week to reduce the swelling in my legs. It's working fine and I feel better. The side effects are manageable. I have to pee a lot, and I've had to deal with some headaches."

"20 mg three times a day. First day? Nothing, so far! I'm sure, or at least I'm thinking it's too early to tell a difference yet. We shall see."
