High Blood Pressure The recommended starting Lasix dosage for high blood pressure is Lasix 40 mg twice daily. Based on the initial blood pressure response and/or side effects of Lasix, your healthcare provider may increase (or decrease) your dose if necessary. With each change in dosage, it may take several weeks to see the full effects of Lasix on lowering blood pressure. Water Retention The recommended dose of Lasix for fluid retention (edema) can vary between 20 mg and 600 mg daily (taken as a single dose or divided and taken more frequently). Some people will only need to take Lasix when they need it (when they are experiencing water retention). Others need to take Lasix on a daily basis. Dosing for Infants and Children Lasix is approved for treating water retention (but not high blood pressure) in children and infants. Usually, the starting dosage for infants and children is 2 mg per kilogram per day (about 0.9 mg per pound per day). The child's healthcare provider may increase the dose if needed, up to a maximum of 6 mg per kilogram (about 2.7 mg per pound). |
