Excipients: Maize starch, pregelatinized maize starch, lactose, colloidal anhydrous silica, talc, magnesium stearate. PROPERTIES Lasix is a medicine which increases urine excretion (loop diuretic) and lowers high blood pressure (antihypertensive). INDICATIONS - Oedema due to cardiac, hepatic, or renal disorders (in the presence of nephritic syndrome, treatment of the basic disorder is the prime concern). Oedema due to burns. Mild to moderate hypertension. POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION The dosage should be tailored to individual needs, especially according to the success of therapy. The lowest dose at which the desired effect is obtained should always be used. For adults, the following dosage guidelines apply: Oedema _due to cardiac, hepatic, _or _renal disorders_: The initial dose for adults is 1 Lasix 40 mg tablet (equivalent to 40 mg furosemide). If adequate diuresis is not achieved, the individual dose may be doubled after 6 hours to 2 Lasix 40 mg tablets (equivalent to 80 mg furosemide). If satisfactory diuresis is still not attained, 4 Lasix 40 mg tablets (equivalent to 160 mg furosemide) can be administered after a further 6 hours. If necessary, initial doses of over 200 mg furosemide may be used in exceptional cases under careful clinical supervision. The daily maintenance dose is usually 1 - 2 Lasix 40 mg tablets (equivalent to 40 – 80 mg furosemide). The weight loss caused by increased diuresis should not exceed 1 kg per day. In nephrotic syndrome, the dose must be determined carefully because of the risk of increased undesirable effects. _Oedemas_ due to burns: The daily and/or single dose can be between 1 and 2 ½ Lasix 40 mg tablets (equivalent to 40 - 100 mg furosemide); in exceptional cases in impaired renal function, up to 6 Lasix 40 mg tablets (equivalent to 240 mg furosemide) may be administered.
