Lasix is used to treat high blood pressure and edema (fluid retention). High blood pressure is a dangerous—potentially fatal—condition in which the heart is met with too much resistance from blocked or narrowed arteries as it tries to pump blood and oxygen around your body. High blood pressure can lead to serious health issues, including heart attacks, heart failure, strokes, and many more complications when not treated. Nearly half of Americans have high blood pressure, and heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.
Edema is the medical term for swelling caused by fluid trapped in the body’s tissue. This swelling is often a symptom, not a condition, caused by diverse medical problems, including inactivity, venous insufficiency, heart failure, kidney disease, and more. Edema commonly leads to swelling, difficulty with movement, and difficulty breathing. When left untreated, excess fluid in the body can increase blood pressure.
By lowering fluid buildup in the body, Lasix helps lower blood pressure. It should be noted that Lasix is prescribed along with a healthy diet and physical exercise to reduce blood pressure. Doctors do not use Lasix alone to treat high blood pressure.
