Lysine and Fluid overload - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Fluid overload is reported as a side effect among people who take Lysine (lysine), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, also take Lasix, and have Portopulmonary hypertension.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Fluid overload when taking Lysine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 15,985 people who have side effects when taking Lysine from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Lysine?

Lysine has active ingredients of lysine. It is often used in herpes labialis (oral herpes simplex). eHealthMe is studying from 16,524 Lysine users. Check the latest studies of Lysine.
