Abstract

The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of torasemide were evaluated after an intravenous administration of the same total dose of torasemide at a dose of 1 mg/kg to rabbits with different infusion times, 1 min (treatment I), 30 min (treatment II), and 2 h (treatment III). The loss of water and electrolytes in urine induced by torasemide was immediately replaced with infusion of equal volume of lactated Ringer…s solution. (omitted)
