Answers:
Furosemide is a diuretic so it makes you lose all the water weight in your body so your heart doesn't have to work quite as hard!. So probably as long as you are on it, you will lose weight becasue of the loss of fluid!. Make sure you try to eat healthy and take in as many calories as you can tolerate and maybe that will help a tiny bit!. I wish you well, my prayers are with you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
as the poster above said was true
you lose weight due to the fluid loss in your body but be careful abusing furosemide may cause hypokalemiaWww@Answer-Health@Com
