Diureten

Diureten is a pharmaceutical preparation classified as a loop diuretic. It was first marketed by the pharmaceutical company BioPharm Solutions in the mid‑1970s and has since been distributed in several markets across North America, Europe, and Asia. The active ingredient in Diureten is a synthetic derivative of furosemide, formulated to promote natriuresis and diuresis through inhibition of the sodium‑potassium‑chloride cotransporter in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. Released in tablet and injectable forms, the drug is indicated for the symptomatic relief of fluid retention associated with congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, hepatic cirrhosis, and certain cases of hypertension.

Dosage regimens for oral therapy typically range from 20 mg to 80 mg per day, with adjustments made according to renal function and therapeutic response. The injectible formulation is reserved for patients who cannot tolerate oral administration. Common side effects reported in clinical trials include electrolyte disturbances such as hyponatremia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesemia, dizziness, tinnitus, and hypotension. Due to its potent diuretic action, monitoring of renal function, serum electrolytes, and blood pressure is recommended during therapy.

Diureten is regulated by national drug authorities, with approval status in the United States granted by the Food and Drug Administration and in the European Union by the European Medicines Agency. Post‑marketing surveillance data over the past decades indicate a favorable safety profile when used according to prescribing information. The drug is available in generic form from several manufacturers, and it serves as a foundational agent in the therapeutic management of edema and cardiac failure.
