[Pharmacokinetics and electrolyte balance following administration of furosemide in pregnant women with E gestosis]

Abstract

In pregnant women with E-gestosis distribution and elimination of furosemid are significantly different to a non-pregnant control group. Furosemid guarantees a rapid and safe excretion of edemas. The efficiency of furosemid concerning electrolyte excretion is stronger in pregnant women with E-gestosis than in nonpregnant women. Therefore furosemide should be administered to pregnant women under intensive electrolyte control only.
