Ethacrynic acid

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Ethacrynic acid (eth a krin' ik) was the second loop diuretic to be approved for use in the United States (1967), but is now rarely used; it remains available in 25 mg tablets and a solution for intravenous use generically and under the brand name Edecrin. The usual oral adult dose is 25 to 100 mg in one to three divided doses daily.
