Dosing
There are 3 accepted formulas used to determine how much Lasix to administer to any given patient:
- The House of God Lasix Formula - Law VII states that age + BUN = Lasix dose.
- The Cr40 Formula - This formula states that creatinine x 40 = Lasix dose.
- The Other Formula - This last formula states that Lasix 80 +/- whatever Renal says +/- whatever Cards says = Lasix dose.
