Abstract

Diuretics are drugs that increase the amount of urine and excretion of sodium. However, the application of most of diuretics is limited by the diuretics adverse influence on the electrolyte balance, carbohydrate, lipid and purine metabolism. This article shows the modern diuretics classification. Special attention is paid to loop diuretics, in particular, torasemide. Torasemide possesses prolonged action, reduces the risk of hypokalemia developing and has antihypertensive, diuretic and antialdosteronic effects. We discuss the advantage and clinical efficacy of prolonged release torasemide (Britomar).
