Phase
4

A potent loop diuretic used to remove excess fluid in conditions such as heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and kidney disease. It works in the loop of Henle in the kidney to block sodium and chloride reabsorption, significantly increasing urine output. It is substantially more potent than furosemide on a milligram basis.
