BENEFITS OF LASIX INJECTION

A controlled blood pressure reduces the risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or kidney problems.

In Treatment of Edema

Injection works by increasing the amount of urine produced. This helps your body get rid of extra water thereby relieving symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling in your arms, legs, or abdomen. This will help you go about your daily activities more easily and make you more confident about being active. Lasix Injection is given as an injection by a doctor in the dose and duration that is best for you. This medicine should not be self-administered.
