ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
EDECRIN (ethacrynic acid) is a saluretic-diuretic agent with marked
potency and rapid onset of
action. It is chemically unrelated to other diuretics. Patients with
congestive heart failure
(including acute pulmonary edema), renal edema, hepatic cirrhosis with
ascites, and other
conditions involving fluid retention have responded well to ethacrynic
acid.
EDECRIN has the following major characteristics:
(1)
WATER AND ELECTROLYTE EXCRETION
may be increased several times over that observed with
thiazide diuretics. The urinary output is usually dose-dependent and
related to the magnitude of
fluid accumulation.
2)
ELECTROLYTE EXCRETION PATTERN DIFFERS FROM THAT OF THIAZIDES.
Initially, sodium and chloride
excretion is usually substantial, and chloride loss exceeds that of
sodium. With prolonged
therapy, chloride excretion declines, and potassium and hydrogen ion
excretion may increase.
In patients with increased diuresis excessive amounts of potassium may
be excreted. Ethacrynic
acid is effective whether or not there is clinical acidosis or
alkalosis.
(3)
RAPID ONSET OF ACTION
usually is observed within 30 minutes after an oral dose or within 5
minutes after an intravenous injection.
(4)
DURATION OF ACTION IS MODERATE
following oral administration (6 to 8 hours). The pea
