Excreted in the urine (after the on / in the introduction of more than ingestion).

Clinical Pharmacology

The onset of the diuretic effect on ingestion is observed already for 1 hour, the maximum of the action - after 1–2 hours, the duration - 6–8 hours. 2 hours.

Interaction

Increases the risk of intoxication with cardiac glycosides (in the presence of glucocorticoids, the likelihood of hypokalemia), nephro and ototoxic effects of aminoglycosides, cephalosporins,Cisplatin; enhances the effect of curare-like agents; increases lithium reabsorption in the renal tubules. NSAIDs reduce diuretic effect.

Precautionary measures

Consideration should be given to a possible decrease in the reaction rate (carefully designate when driving and maintaining machinery).

Storage conditions of the drug Lasix

In the dark place at a temperature of no higher than 30 ° C.
