IV Push Lasix

[emilysmom,RN]

I was told to put in a butterfly then push IV Lasix 100mg in 10ml over 5min. Will have another nurse with me but I am concerned about side effects.

You can go slower... 20mg/min with a 100mg dose is IVP over 5 minutes. You can certainly go slower than that. My drug guides state to administer at 20mg/min...
