Lasix is the brand name of furosemide, a prescription drug used to eliminate extra water and salt in people who have problems with fluid retention. Swelling and fluid retention - also known as edema - can be caused by congestive heart failure, liver or kidney disease, as well as other conditions. Lasix is also used on its own or together with other drugs to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lasix is part of a group of drugs known as loop diuretics or water pills, which reduce the amount of water in the body by increasing the flow of urine.
