Side Effects of Generic Lasix

As a result of diuresis, dehydration can take place that, in turn, can cause unusual thirst or dryness in the mouth, rapid or irregular heartbeats, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, muscular cramps, or fatigue. There may even be a sudden decrease in the amount of the urine, as too much water may have been drained out of the body. However, dehydration can be overcome by ensuring sufficient intake of fluids and diet containing the compounds that are lost through urine.
