Prescribe Medication For Fluid Retention In Hot Humid Climate
I had requested Lasix or a generic for it from a new doctor, as I had a few times in the past, and this was prescribed. Since I didn t recognize this name I was reluctant to take it. My problem in fluid retention here in this hot humid climate of Hawaii. I m on other meds and don t want to be causing problems for myself.

Hi,
The generic name for Lasix is Furosemide. It is a diuretic used for fluid retention.
If you are also suffering of high blood pressure, I'd suggest to take them exactly as directed by your cardiologist and to keep monitoring your blood pressure.
If you are suffering of any kidney disease, I'd suggest to do urine analysis as scheduled by your nephrologist to check for the albumin level.
All the best!
