Description: Lasix 20 mg Ampoule is an injectable diuretic medication used to manage fluid retention (edema) and high blood pressure. The active ingredient, furosemide, is a potent loop diuretic that works by increasing the excretion of sodium and water from the kidneys. This helps to reduce fluid buildup in conditions such as congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and renal disorders.
