The generic name for Lasix is furosemide. [1]
Furosemide is a loop diuretic medication used to treat fluid overload (edema) caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease. It is also used to treat high blood pressure. [2]
Furosemide works by preventing your body from absorbing too much salt, allowing the salt to instead be carried out of your body in your urine. This reduces the amount of excess fluid in your body. [2]
Furosemide is available as a generic medication and is manufactured by multiple pharmaceutical companies. Therefore, there is no single "manufacturer of furosemide" in the same way there might be for a branded drug. [3]
Lasix is the brand name for the generic drug furosemide. While the active ingredient is the same, there can be minor differences in inactive ingredients or formulation between the brand-name drug and its generic equivalents. [1][3]
