Injectable lasix help?

Im gonna have injectable lasix on hand, JUST IN CASE. I doubt il need it, but you never know. So, just in case i need it which i hope i dont, id like to know a little about it.

1. What dose is recommended IV for the injectable lasix?

2. Are there any dangers i should be aware of when i use this?

3. How fast does it start to work, what would be the optimal time to take it before i step on stage?

Anything else i should know? Also, is there any different procedure injecting IV than injecting Intra Muscular?

what exactly is demadex?

I just wanted the info on the inj lasix for "just in case". I mean, i dont wanna diet for 14 weeks, then realize a few hours before stage time im watery cause i didnt do everything perfect. Id rather use the lasix then throw out the window 14 weeks and a lot of money.

With lasix (inj) i have found it works just as fast (well within 10mins) injecting IM instead of IV and much eaiser to do, if your not familar with IV injections. Be prepared, not uncommon to drop 10lbs withing 30-60mins.

The use of Lasix in Bodybuilding is very dangerous. Furosemide(Lasix) is a potent diuretic that inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and chloride. Hypokalemia is one of the primary side effects of Lasix administration.

Not to scare you Bro, but there are better choices out there. The use of Lasix WILL (not can) F*** up your electrolyte levels. I know of one Bodybuilder who died and several others who were hospitalized from Lasix while competing.

*Just of note: I've been a Paramedic for over 7 years and have probably administered more Lasix to Patients then any other Medication at my disposal. We draw Blood Work before & after administration to determine Electrolyte Replacement.

What is the danger in messing up your electrolyte levels a little bit, if they can be restored in a few hours? Will injectable lasix indefinatly flatten u out?

Again i wanna say i only am using this info as a last resort.

I am not sure you understand just how bad and how fast lasix will phuk up your electrolytes. Hell, they are already pretty phuked up the last few days from a show and lasix is only going to add to the danger factor. At the very least, you will cramp like you have never cramped before if you phuk up your electrolytes bad enough. Worse case secenario? Heart attack would be right up there at the top of the list.

I don't know what you mean when you say "indefinately flatten you out". If you are saying will it definately flatten you out, I would say the chances are highly likely that it will have you flat and flat very fast.

Look at all of the guys that complain of being flat withOUT using lasix. Remember, it isn't water RESTRICTION (or getting rid of as much water as possible), it is water MANIPULATION. Get the water in the right place (muscle) and get it out of the wrong place (subq).

If you are going to use it as a last resort, that is your business. If you are planning on using it as your water control before a show, I wish you well cuz the chances are slim that you will get it right.

ok ok ok you scared me. I wont touch it haha. Thanx for the insight and advice, u mighta just saved my life!

Lasix

Is Lasix powerful? HELL YES! All the stuff you hear about is true. It can defintiely throw your sodium and Potassium out of whack. IM is ok, but will end up with a slightly slower absorbtion rate and a bit longer effective one.
You will most likely urinate a total of about a GALLON. Depending on your bodyweight and fat percentage, this can be really bad or moderately bad. At about 8 lbs per gallon, you can shed about 8-10 lbs (assuming a 100m mg Dose IM). Max effect is about 4 hrs post injection with initial onset at around 15-20 min post injection. Tips IF you decide to use Lasix.

-Monitor dehydration using "Skin turgor" test (Pinch the skin on the top of your hand, if it stays, you are dehydrated pretty significanty)
-WATCH YOUR EXERTION!!!!!

- Potassium and Sodium supplements!
-Every time you urinate

- Monitor urine output. I mean every drop! I go in an old gatorade bottle and pour into the toilet. This MUST be replaced ASAP (on top of "Daily" water needs). Plain old gatorade is best.

can someone w/ demadex experience please comment.
dpsquat or skip??
how should it be used?

If you willing to dance with Death, try Lasix IV, its the most dangerous dueritic out there. Paul Dillet almost died from the stuff. And there are probably lots of unknown bodybuilders who did die using it.
