Azosemide, a novel loop diuretic that has been available for the past few years, acts qualitatively like thiazide, viz by prolonging the diuretic effect with, however, only a slight delay in the onset of diuresis, in combination with the quantitative effect of previous loop diuretics, i.e. large excretion volumes. On the basis of experience gained to date, specific indications will presumably be cardiac and renal edema and ascites, also as long-term treatment. Provided that no NaCl or volume deficiency presents, side effects are insignificant.
