Dear sir
Lasix is a diuretic which contains fresemide 40 mg which causes diuresis of water and salts including sodium and potassium.
The water retention effect might be due to low cardiac out put or these diuretics will cause loss of sodium along with water, sometimes low sodium causes impairment in the action of lasix
Please monitor electrolytes while taking diuretics.
Thanks
