Indications
Lasix is used for the treatment of high blood pressure and heart failure. It may also be used for the treatment of edema resulting from congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver or kidney disease. It may also be used for the treatment of edema caused by other conditions, including liver disease. These are also used in combination with other drugs to treat hypertension. It may also be used in patients with type 2 diabetes (high blood sugar levels) to improve glycemic control. Lasix should be used with caution in patients with liver disease.
Dosage and Administration
Lasix (furosemide) is given once daily and is not recommended to be taken in higher doses or more frequent doses. It is important that patients understand the potential impact on blood glucose levels. In some patients, the use of Lasix may lead to hyperglycemia and glycosuria. If this occurs, patients should be closely monitored by their healthcare provider to monitor glycemic control and treat the underlying causes of blood glucose elevation.
Warnings and Precautions
Lasix should not be used in patients with pre-existing conditions that predispose them to hyperglycemia, such as high blood sugar. In those with diabetes mellitus, there is an increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (very high blood sugar levels) which can lead to serious complications. In patients with kidney disease, there is an increased risk of diabetic nephropathy which can lead to serious complications including diabetic foot ulcers and kidney failure.
Patients with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (high blood cholesterol levels) should be closely monitored by their healthcare providers to monitor their glycemic control. Patients with preexisting conditions that increase the risk for liver disease, such as high blood pressure or diabetes mellitus, should be monitored closely to adjust the dosage and/or use of Lasix.

Patients with severe renal impairment should be monitored to adjust the dosage and/or use of Lasix.
