Description

General description

Furosemide is a an ototoxic[1] high-ceiling diuretic.[2]

Application

Furosemide has been used:

• to investigate the influence of timing of dexamethasone administration on auditory hair cell survival in mice[3]
• to study its effect on intracranial pressure (ICP) after subcutaneous administration in rats[4]
• as a stimulant for renin release and subsequent increase in plasma angiotensin II (ANG II)[5]

Biochem/physiol Actions

"High ceiling" diuretic that strongly affects renal tubular action by increasing renal blood flow; antihypertensive.

Furosemide can block the Na⁺/K⁺/2Cl^- co-transporter in the ascending thick loop of Henle. It can enhance the synthesis of intrarenal prostaglandin.[2] It enhances its ototoxicity in animals when used along with kanamycin.[1] Furosemide is linked with thiamine insufficiency in individuals with heart failure.[6]

Inhibits ion co-transport in the kidney.
