Lasilactone /20 50 Mg 30 Tablets

Lasilactone /20 50 Mg 30 Tablets

Description:

Lasilactone 50/20 mg 30 tablets is a prescription diuretic medicine used to treat fluid retention (edema) and conditions associated with excess body fluid and high aldosterone levels. It combines two powerful diuretics, furosemide and spironolactone, to increase urine output, help remove excess water and salts from the body, and support heart and kidney function under medical supervision. It is commonly used in the management of heart failure, liver cirrhosis with ascites, and certain kidney disorders where fluid overload is present.

Indications:

• Treatment of edema (fluid retention) associated with congestive heart failure.
• Management of edema and ascites due to liver cirrhosis.
• Edema associated with nephrotic syndrome and chronic renal insufficiency, when prescribed by a physician.
• Conditions with secondary hyperaldosteronism where spironolactone’s aldosterone-blocking effect is beneficial.
• Adjunct therapy in hypertension in selected patients when diuretic combination is indicated (as directed by a doctor).
• Relief of symptoms related to fluid overload such as swelling of legs, ankles, and abdomen, and shortness of breath due to congestion.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Furosemide – 50 mg per tablet (loop diuretic).
• Spironolactone – 20 mg per tablet (potassium-sparing diuretic and aldosterone antagonist).
• Other inactive ingredients (excipients) are not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as prescribed by your physician. Do not self-medicate with this product.
• The usual dose, frequency, and duration are determined individually by the doctor based on the condition, kidney function, and response to treatment.
• Tablets are generally taken orally with water. They may be taken with or after food to reduce stomach discomfort, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• Take the medicine at the same time each day, preferably in the morning or early afternoon, to reduce nighttime urination.
• Do not change the dose or stop the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.
• Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and blood electrolytes (especially potassium, sodium, and creatinine) is usually required during treatment.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps remove excess fluid from the body by increasing urine output, reducing swelling in legs, ankles, and abdomen.
• Combines a loop diuretic (furosemide) with a potassium-sparing diuretic (spironolactone) to enhance diuretic effect while helping reduce the risk of severe potassium loss.
• Supports management of heart failure by decreasing fluid overload, which can help reduce shortness of breath and improve exercise tolerance.
• Assists in controlling ascites and edema associated with liver cirrhosis and certain kidney conditions.
• Helps lower blood volume, which may contribute to blood pressure reduction when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Use only under medical supervision. This is a prescription medication.
• Contraindicated in patients with anuria (no urine production), severe kidney failure not under close monitoring, or acute renal failure unless specifically prescribed by a specialist.
• Contraindicated in severe hyperkalemia (high blood potassium levels) or conditions predisposing to hyperkalemia, such as Addison’s disease, unless carefully monitored.
• Do not use if you are allergic to furosemide, spironolactone, sulfonamides, or any of the tablet components.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with liver disease, kidney impairment, diabetes, gout, low blood pressure, or dehydration.
• May interact with other medicines such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, other diuretics, potassium supplements, NSAIDs, digoxin, lithium, and certain blood pressure medications. Inform your doctor about all medicines and supplements you are taking.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Spironolactone and furosemide should only be used in pregnancy if clearly needed and prescribed.
• Breastfeeding: use only if recommended by your doctor, as active components may pass into breast milk.
• May cause dizziness or low blood pressure; avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Regular blood tests to monitor electrolytes (especially potassium and sodium), kidney function, and sometimes liver function are essential during therapy.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects: increased urination, dizziness or lightheadedness (especially when standing up quickly), headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, and fatigue.
• Electrolyte disturbances: low sodium (hyponatremia), low or high potassium (hypokalemia or hyperkalemia), low magnesium, which may cause muscle cramps, weakness, irregular heartbeat, or confusion.
• Changes in blood pressure: low blood pressure (hypotension), especially in dehydrated patients or those on other blood pressure medications.
• Metabolic effects: increased blood urea and creatinine, changes in blood sugar or uric acid levels (may worsen gout or diabetes control).
• Hormonal effects from spironolactone: breast tenderness, breast enlargement (gynecomastia) in men, menstrual irregularities, decreased libido in some patients.
• Allergic reactions: rash, itching, photosensitivity, or more severe reactions such as swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat and difficulty breathing. Seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
• Serious symptoms requiring urgent medical attention: severe dizziness or fainting, very fast or irregular heartbeat, severe muscle weakness, confusion, difficulty breathing, or little to no urine output.
