Lasix Injection 4ml

Lasix Injection is used to treat conditions caused by excess fluid buildup in the body. It helps manage oedema related to heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disorders and is also used to treat high blood pressure. The injection is useful in treating pulmonary oedema and high calcium levels and may assist in removing toxins in certain poisoning cases. It is administered under medical supervision.

Lasix injection is given through a needle directly into your vein. It comes in a clear, sterile liquid. Each ml of the liquid contains 10 milligrams of furosemide. 

Lasix injection is administered via intravenous (IV). The medication is injected directly into a vein using a needle. The IV route allows for rapid and precise medication delivery into the bloodstream, essential for treating certain medical conditions.

The active ingredient in Lasix injection is furosemide, a diuretic drug that helps your body produce more urine.

When you receive a Lasix injection, a needle injects the drug into your vein.

Furosemide in Lasix injection works by blocking the reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions in your kidneys.

It Increases the amount of urine your body produces, which helps remove excess fluid from your body.

The excess fluid is excreted from your body through urination, reducing the swelling and oedema caused by fluid buildup.

Lasix injection is a fast-acting medication, and you may start to feel the effects within an hour after the injection.
