Lasix is banned for 2 yr old graded stakes next year

you mad i'm posting horse stuff?

lasix is a drug, not a horse

but there is a horse named banned running in a stakes race this weekend

it lowers the blood pressure. when i say bleeding, i mean the horses bleeding from their lungs out their nose due to exertion.

quote:

The medication Furosemide, sold under the trade name, "Lasix", is a powerful diuretic that causes fluids locked up in the horse's body tissues to be released and expelled in the urine. This has the effect of lowering the horse's blood pressure, particularly in the aorta and pulmonary artery. The lower blood pressure in the capillaries mitigates the problem of EIPH; thus, the horse's performance returns to a normal level. Lasix is treatment of choice for EIPH, though study results of its effectiveness vary.

EIPH, or bleeding, was found in 2 studies this summer to be a problem that can be passed down through breeding.

arguments against lasix are that the us and canada are the only places where it is allowed, and that the side effect of peeing so much can help mask other illegal drugs in the system.

arguments for lasix are that horses who tend to bleed can't run without it, and once a horse starts using it, they don't run the same once they come off the lasix.

almost EVERY horse in america runs on lasix. and by lasix, i mean salix.

it's all good hg



that horse i told you to bet that you ignored is running in a stakes race next saturday at la downs

my horse pees so much off lasix, i would have HATED to have cleaned his stall when he was racing
