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

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

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, 111 individuals taking LASIX reported MUSCLE ATROPHY 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 MUSCLE ATROPHY. In doing so, we compare LASIX with other drugs that cause MUSCLE ATROPHY, to help you evaluate whether or not LASIX causes MUSCLE ATROPHY. Likewise, this page shows the most highly-reported side effects of LASIX, so you can see if MUSCLE ATROPHY ranks among LASIX's most well-known side effects.
