Medication Interactions

These appointments are crucial to ensure the medication is working safely and effectively.
Unforeseen Circumstances
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any unexpected or concerning side effects. Don’t hesitate to contact your healthcare provider with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your Lasix dosage or treatment.
