Lasilactone 50

Uses
Lasilactone 50 (Frusemide/Spironolactone) is a combination of 2 different ingredients, and both of the ingredients contained in this medicine are types of diuretics (water pills). After administration, this drug helps the body to increase the amount of urine passed, which is important from preventing the build up of excess levels of fluid in the body.

This is important, because if a build up of water occurs, symptoms such as swelling of the ankles, breathlessness and fatigue may occur. There is also a possibility of an extra strain being placed on the organs if the unneeded water is not removed. Patients affected by oedema, hyperaldosteronism, cirrhosis of the liver and other conditions may be prescribed this drug.
