What is Lasilactone (Frusemide/Spironolactone) used for?

Lasilactone (Frusemide/Spironolactone) is an oral diuretic medication prescribed to treat patients with oedema. It operates by preventing sodium absorption in the kidneys to draw excess medication out of the body to be eliminated through urination. It is commonly prescribed to treat oedema caused by heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or kidney failure. Your doctor may prescribe this medication for the treatment of other unlisted purposes, as well.

These should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a snack or meal is recommended prior to use if you experience nausea.
