Weight Gain with Lasix

by jbeach09, Oct 23, 2009 01:00AM

Tags: Weight gain, lasix, Heart Failure, potassium

I was diagnosed with heart failure in 2005. Along with other meds I took lasix and gained 30 lbs. After a few months I stopped the lasix and quickly lost the 30 lbs. Now I am taking lasix and potassium chloride and have gained 30 lbs again. I tried stopping the lasix and pc, but that didn't help this time. Any ideas?

Thanks
