20-40mg per day, up to 3 consecutive days. I have only used and read about guidelines for taking orally----I don't have a clue what taking it intravenously will do and change, in terms of dosages, sides, ect.

Lasix actually can be very dangerous, so I have a sneaking suspicion your friend does not really know what he's talking about. The patients he uses it for are in danger of kidney or heart failure, so relatively speaking, it is safe for them.

You can take 40mg for 3 days to get rid of water fast then go to 20mg for as long as you want within reason, eat a few baked potatoes a day to keep the K up and you should be fine. You should never drink on lasix as alcohol will intensify the affects of the drug. Also lasix makes you prone to severe sunburns, so use a sun screen. So if your going on vacation maybe you want to only use it for a few days prior, don't use it to long and don't use to much in any given day. Lasix will not make you look lean if your a fatty, you should have done a little more work in the gym. Don't do the IV.

Depending on your size, 40 mgs is the max you shoud go. I agree with the 3 day dose, but recommend going to 20 mgs for the following 4 days and calling it quits. Myself, I get alot of cramping while using it so a week is all I go.

not holding extreme amount of water just enough to look a little bloated.my diet is fine and will only use it for three days, thanks for the info

Try spinorolactone. It is a potassium sparing diuretic for about three days at 25mg then stop.

I was referring to tabs. Sorry, I don't know anything about aqueous Lasix.

THIS MAY SOUND UNUSUAL, BUT I AM SERIOUS-CALL AN ANIMAL VET AND ASK THE QUESTION AS IF IT IS FOR A HORSE

If youre worried about the LASIX side effects- I would drop carbs for 4-5 days and get into Keto- You'll Lose ALOT of water naturally- along with it, water weight..

while doing this stack some ECA- or even those OTC water diuretics like Taraxatone or something like that.....

I agree- do the homework in the gym and get to your desired weight with enough muscle on you, then worry about water retention...
