Furosemide overdose and maximal allowable weight standards.

Abstract:

:Adherence to the Maximal Allowable Weight (MAW) standards established by regulation can be difficult for many active duty personnel. We have discovered some members of this group utilizing the potentially dangerous rapid weight loss methods that are commonly seen in patients with bulimia and anorexia nervosa. Two cases of furosemide (Lasix) overdose in active duty members are presented in an effort to enlighten military clinicians concerning this hazardous practice in our patient population. Furosemide overdose related to a scheduled or mandatory weight measurement has not been previously reported.
