Contrary to popular thought, Lasix (generic is furosemide) is not a water pill: it is a pill of Lasix or it could be an IV of Lasix too.
Dosing
There are 3 accepted formulas used to determine how much Lasix to administer to any given patient:
- 1 The House of God Lasix Formula - Law VII states that age + BUN = Lasix dose.
- 2 The Cr40 Formula" - This formula states that creatinine x 40 = Lasix dose.
- 3 The Other Formula" - This last formula states that Lasix 80 +/- whatever Renal says +/- whatever Cards says = Lasix dose.
