Summary
The use of metolazone (Zaroxolyn), a new diuretic, in fifty-two African patients is described. The drug was found to be safe and moderately effective when used alone, but combined with frusemide it proved to be of great value in patients whose fluid retention was refractory to other diuretics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
