Furosemide is a diuretic...it makes you urinate. This does not necessarily "clean out the system". Careful medical supervision is required in the administration of this drug. Inproper use can cause profound diuresis with water and electrolyte depletion.

Why would a physician give a diabetic lasix yet stop rx for potassium which is supposed to be taken when on diuretic medication?

Yes, sometimes when you take a diuretic you need to take potassium to ensure the proper level. However, the doctor will probably do regular blood work to check the potassium levels. If you are taking 20mg of lasix you may not need the potassium. If you are concerned don't be afraid to ask your doctor. Thanks, JM
