Laxide 40mg Tablet contains Furosemide, a loop diuretic prescribed to treat edema (fluid retention) caused by heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or kidney disease.
Manufactured by Tenet Healthcare, it works by inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption in the kidneys, promoting rapid removal of excess fluid through urine. This helps alleviate swelling in the legs, abdomen, or lungs and manage hypertension. It is also used in emergency settings to treat acute pulmonary edema.
