Question: when it says on the lable (ex:LASIX) "no artificial or natural sunlight".. are we supposed to live in a cave?
I live in Florida and use the hats & sunscreen..etc. but thats not always "do-able".
I heard recently that watermelon helps? anyone else?

Morning MW
I take lasix twice a day and spend a lot of time in the sun - I wear a hat when ever I can and I do use sun screen, it does help but if I'm going to be out for a prolonged amount of time I try to find some shade when ever I can. Never tried watermelon but nows a good time of the year to try it, I'm always game to try something new. Just be careful when your outside. Take care.
MW,
Yes, one potential side-effect of furosemide (Lasix) is photo-toxicity. Not everyone experiences it so you really need to slowly see how much sunlight you can tolerate. Sunscreens (if you are not sensitive to those) can be effective.
I haven't heard about watermelon as an anti-photo-toxicity agent. Post anything here that you might find onthe subject.
