Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I accidentally took four 40mg Lasix. Other than mild Hypertension I'm a healthy 55 yo male. We're on a last minute trip and my wife had stores them an empty bin in my pill/vitamin organizer. I took then after the lights were turned off thinking it was my normal Friday meds however I opens the wrong day with her pills. I'm would like to know how long will this stay in my system. I'm drinking lots of fluild and bought OTC potassium. Have no health insurence so can't go to the ed.
** 1. Lasix [frusemide] stays for about 6-8 hours in the system, and since it is a diuretic and you have taken four 40 mg [160 mg] thus make sure to take adequate fluids to rehydrate yourself [which you are doing] since it can be dehydrating.
2. If you take too much Lasix, you may feel confused, dehydrated, dizzy or you may pass excessive urine,high dose of frusemide can cause irreversible hearing loss
