Is there a point to limit the lasix (mg) and take a different diarhetic, ie Aldactone?
Too much Lasix can cause kidney damage, but other diarhetics do not have such a profound effect.
In the Philippines, my doctor was degeed in America, 40 mg was the maximum dosage. If more diahretic was needed, then Aldactone was the favorite choice.
Chosen Answer:
yes, they block different parts of the nephron in the kidney, resulting in more fluid loss. Furthermore, spironolactone (Aldactone) is a potassium sparing diuretic, so it helps retain potassium when Lasix makes you lose potassium. That said, I use way higher doses than that of furosemide (Lasix) quite often
