13 Jul 2011	Lasix overall is a good drug. With the problems that I experience with fluid retention, when I take it, it does relieve me of fluid. The down side to me of this drug is that it cause cramping in the abdomin area and it increases the urge of urination, but that is what the drug is ment to do. —Posted by Andrea Bridgeford Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
