Subject: WAG could it be Lasix 80 mg q.d. x7 days
Could this Lasix dose be correct?
Does Lasix 380 mg twice daily sound excessive? The doctor originally dictated 20 mg daily and then went back and had me change it. I saw something about a dose can be titrated up carefully to 600 mg daily with patients with severe edematous conditions........just not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
