    Furosemide (brand name Lasix) is a potent loop diuretic that inhibits sodium and chloride reabsorption. It is indicated for acute pulmonary edema, edema, and hypertension. Common adverse reactions include gastrointestinal issues like pancreatitis, and hematologic issues such as agranulocytosis, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia. It can interact with other diuretics. Nurses should monitor weight, blood pressure, and pulse rate with long-term use or rapid dieresis, as furosemide can cause water and electrolyte depletion. Patients should avoid direct sunlight due to risk of photosensitivity reactions.
