Can Lasix Taken After Back Surgery Cause Edema In Both Feet Along With Hallucinations?
My husband has recently started taking Lasix, following back surgery. He had pitting edema both feet.
He is having hallucinations, thinks he can hear voices distantly. Can this be related to the drug? He also takes several heart medications and two Parkinson medications but the hallucinations only started after taking Lasix.

Lasix never causese swelling in leg.Rather it s used for decreasing swelling. Edema in feet can be due to hypertension. Hallucination can be a post surgical psychosis or electrolite abnormality like low sodium. Parkinson medication also causes hallucination. I think he will need his blood electrolite examination and psychiatric evaluation. i think this will solve the issue.
