Lasix Injection is used to treat fluid retention and fluid overload.

Uses of Lasix Injection are:

• Fluid Retention: Removes excess fluid in heart, liver and kidney disorders.
• Fluid on the Lungs: Relieves breathing difficulty from fluid overload.

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 given intravenously or intramuscularly. 

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.
