[]Ballester and Puntes have previously been evaluated in an ongoing trial in Australia. In this case, we sought to evaluate comprars used in the treatment of chronic heart failure to assess their safety and efficacy. We included all comprars in the study that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were submitted for assessment of efficacy and safety. Participants were randomized 2 (torasemide-IR 40 mg, torasemide-PR 40 mg, and furosemide-IR 40 mg) to: comprar- torasemide-IR 40 mg, comprar- furosemide-IR 40 mg, comprar- torassemide-PR 40 mg, comprar- torassemide-PR 40 mg, comprar- torassemide-IR 40 mg, comprar- torassemide-IR 40 mg. Participants were monitored for 8 weeks and were evaluated for clinical worsening, adverse events, and adverse drug events. A total of 117 comprars met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were submitted for assessment of efficacy and safety.

Lasix is used to treat high blood pressure and edema (fluid retention). High blood pressure is a dangerous—potentially fatal—condition in which the heart is met with too much resistance from blocked or narrowed arteries as it tries to pump blood and oxygen around your body. High blood pressure can lead to serious health issues, including heart attacks, heart failure, strokes, and many more complications when not treated. Nearly half of Americans have high blood pressure, and heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.
Edema is the medical term for swelling caused by fluid trapped in the body’s tissue. This swelling is often a symptom, not a condition, caused by diverse medical problems, including inactivity, venous insufficiency, heart failure, kidney disease, and more. Edema commonly leads to swelling, difficulty with movement, and difficulty breathing. When left untreated, excess fluid in the body can increase blood pressure.
By lowering fluid buildup in the body, Lasix helps lower blood pressure. It should be noted that Lasix is prescribed along with a healthy diet and physical exercise to reduce blood pressure. Doctors do not use Lasix alone to treat high blood pressure.
