Furosemide, also known by its commercial name Lasix, is a potent diuretic pharmaceutical compound. It is widely used in the treatment of fluid retention (edema) caused by various medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disorders. Furosemide works by increasing the production of urine, thereby helping the body to eliminate excess water and salt. This medication is available in tablet or injectable form.
