What Are The Effects Of Drinking Alcohol When Taking Lasix For High BP?
Hi so Im doing a research project for school and its about being in a hot tub and one of the people who died was taking Lasix for high blood pressure but he was also drinking alcohol. I just wanted to know what the side effects would be for taking that specific medication as well as drinking.

Hi greetings
i appreciate your concern
lasix cases loss for water from body and alcohol produces vasodilation leading to reduced amount of blood reached to heart as venous returns
which leads to decrease cardiac output ultimately state of hypoperfusion and shock which can lead to death
so this could be a cause of death
hope I have answered your question
thanks
good luck
