Gloassary term:

Frusemide

Frusemide is a potent loop diuretic that inhibits sodium and chloride reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, promoting diuresis and reducing fluid overload. It is essential in managing conditions like heart failure and oedema. A key clinical consideration is its potential to cause electrolyte imbalances, especially hypokalaemia.
