Is DIALYSIS a side effect of LASIX ? ( FactMed.com )

About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of LASIX patients who developed DIALYSIS.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 378 individuals taking LASIX reported DIALYSIS to the FDA. A total of 72499 LASIX drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

FDA Research Report

Introduction This page is designed to help you determine the relationship, if any, between LASIX and DIALYSIS. In doing so, we compare LASIX with other drugs that cause DIALYSIS, to help you evaluate whether or not LASIX causes DIALYSIS. Likewise, this page shows the most highly-reported side effects of LASIX, so you can see if DIALYSIS ranks among LASIX's most well-known side effects.
