Lasix pills

[sizzlechest]

Got some Lasix pills for the wife. She blows up during that time of the month. What dosing is good to get rid of all the excess water?

Dude...no.

Menstrual bloating does not consitute the need for a potent loop diuretic. It's made for serious shit like CHF and can be dangerous if used improperly (because it can cause electrolyte imbalances and dehydration).

A mild OTC diuretic should work fine.

I've used lasix before and would never use it again. I would advise you to stay away from it. It does a number on your kidneys and as Bonaparte said strips you of all your electrolytes, leaving you feeling weak for 2-3 days. Not worth it. You can get similiar effects from drinking diuretic teas and cutting the salt from your diet.

If your a pro bodybuilder Lasix could be taken the night before you go on stage, but the benefits are only for 1-2 days max. Just not worth the damage done to your body.

Agreed! Try coffee.

I totally misunderstood the post. I thought he was gonna take them. If its for your wife during her time of the month one 40mg pill should do the trick. Just make sure she doesn't plan on leaving the house for at least 4-5 hours after taking it because bathroom trips will be very frequent. And she definately shouldn't make a habit of taking them, only when really needed because they are powerful and do cause damage in extended use. Also she should drink a sports drink (gatorade, powerade) to replace all the lost electrolytes and eat a banana to replace potassium 2-3 hours after taking her lasix.

His wife is taking it because she is holding excess water and the doctor saw it necessary to prescribe it to her. I was
just advising on how it should be taken. If you have a problem with his wife taking it, take it up with their doctor.

am i missing something here? OP said he got them, not the doc. If the doc prescribed them, he would have also prescribed a dose, and then no need for OP to come here asking for the right dose.

I must have missed something????

They didnt come from the doc, we have an event and she needs to get rid of the water, She is great shape and works out 5 days. But for a few days out of the month she blows up with water, you can see it in her ankles etc.. So she just nees it for a day or two. It was actually recomemend by a family friend who is a doc but he lives out of state and wont do scripts here. I just got them and wanted to see if anyone has had personal experince for this purpose. Ladies?!!

Well what dose are the pills? Why not start low, 10-20mg, and gauge the response. I've never seen lasix used for this purpose. In a healthy lasix naive person, the effect will be robust.

Why didn't you just lead this and spare us all the speculative banter, instead of:

At what level is she competing?
