I want to switch from px lasix to something from healthfood store.?
Answer:
The following foods and herbs are know to have diuretic properties:
Celery seed (and plant)
Parsley
Dandelion
Juniper berries
Asparagus
Artichoke
Melon
Watercress
Be very careful, I assume you have either a heart condition or kidney problems. If your herbal dont work as well this could throw you into congestive heart failure or kidney failure. My suggestion if you want to continue this is to weigh yourself every day, if you're picking up fluid weight, get back on the lasix
Depends on why you're taking the lasix. Is it for blood pressure control, heart failure, or are you retaining a lot of water? The problem with herbal medications is that there is no governmental body overseeing their production. The FDA is responsible for making sure that any prescription drugs are safe and effective and actually contain what is on the bottle as ingredients. Herbal products are not well researched and there is no guarantee that you're actually getting the ingredients that are listed on the bottle. Also, if you are taking other medications, it is hard to know whether the herbal products will interact with your prescription drugs or any other nonprescription drugs you may be taking. So, if you get any suggestions, make sure to use them with caution and tell your doctor and pharmacist what you're using so he/she doesn't give you something that may interact.
