Chlorothiazide sodium (Diuril) is an organic compound used as a diuretic and as an antihypertensive.〔Ernst, Michael E.; Grimm, Richard H., Jr. "Thiazide diuretics: 50 years and beyond" Current Hypertension Reviews 2008, volume 4(4), pp. 256-265. 〕 It is used both within the hospital setting or for personal use to manage excess fluid associated with congestive heart failure. Most often taken in pill form, it is usually taken orally once or twice a day. In the ICU setting, chlorothiazide is given to diurese a patient in addition to furosemide (Lasix). Working in a separate mechanism than furosemide, and absorbed enterically as a reconstituted suspension administered through a nasogastric tube (NG tube), the two drugs potentiate one another. == Indications == * Large amount of excess fluid including: * *Diagnosed congested heart failure * *Peripheral edema * *Rales / Rhonchi * *Hypertension 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「chlorothiazide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
