Are you taking it in tablet form or via injection? I am assuming that you have never taken diuretics before?

I have never taken any diuteric before, i know what lasix does with the calcium, magnesium and potassium, just wanted some opinions on the dosage. I am taking the pill form btw.

Thanks

Do you have any one that has experience with Lasix that can help you monitor it's effects, etc.? Any other diuretic available to you, preferably non-loop diuretics?

Here is something that I wrote previously about Lasix/furosemide, but remember that it is only a guide. Lasix is definitely one of the more dangerous compounds that bodybuilders use and should be treated as such. Do a lot more research on the subject then just asking people's opinions here, although this is a good start.

Since the reason for using a diuretic such as furosemide is to achieve extreme muscular definition for a competition, its use is only required for a maximum of four to five days prior to the day that one wants to achieve minimum fluid retention. Some athletes will even only require that they administer the drug the day of an event to achieve the desired results. However of course the time required for someone to experience the desired effects of furosemide will vary from individual to individual and personal experimentation will be the only way to determine how one reacts to the compound.

In terms of dosing, this again will vary from user to user. As will be outlined in the Risks/Side Effects section of this profile below, the negative side effects associated with furosemide are extremely serious and thus users should always begin using relatively small doses of the drug before attempting larger ones. Doses ranging anywhere from five to forty milligrams are quite normal depending on the body weight of the user. This holds true for both males and females, however because of the difference in average bodyweights females will likely stay closer to the lower end of the range for their dosing. Some users may experiment with higher doses but no individual should go beyond eighty milligrams per dose. Any higher and drastic side effects are likely to occur with any precautionary measures taken by the user to be unlikely to prevent such negative side effects from occurring. When administering the oral version of the drug users should begin to experience its effects approximately one hour after ingesting it. The injectable version, which can be administered either intramuscularly or intravenously with little difference in the time it takes for the drug to become and remain active in the user, should begin producing a diuretic effect almost immediately.

Due to the active life of the drug doses can be administered several times a day if needed. Of course the dosing with the injectable version of furosemide will be much easier to manipulate then the oral version. The oral version primarily is produced in either twenty or forty milligram tablets. Of course these tablets can be split so that more individualized dosing can be achieved however more exact dosing can be managed with the injectable version of the drug.

Many users will find that the injectable version of the furosemide produces a much more intense and dramatic effect then the oral version. This, combined with the rapid effect that the injectable has, necessitates that users do not simply use their dosing interchangeably with both versions of the drug. Using the dose that was effective for the oral version will not produce as dramatic of results as when used with the injectable. The opposite is true as well with the injectable producing a much stronger effect if used at what was an effective dose for the user administering the drug orally with of course the potential for negative side effects increasing with this. However users have relatively safely used the same range for dosing of both versions of the drug, approximately five to as high as eighty milligrams per dose depending on how well the user tolerates the drug.
