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.
