and experimental animals. It has
been demonstrated that furosemide inhibits primarily the absorption of
sodium and chloride not only in
the proximal and distal tubules but also in the loop of Henle. The
high degree of efficacy is largely due
to the unique site of action. The action on the distal tubule is
independent of any inhibitory effect on
carbonic anhydrase and aldosterone.
Recent evidence suggests that furosemide gl
