What's the difference between diuretic and diuretical?
Diuretic
Definition:
(a.) Tending to increase the secretion and discharge of urine.
(n.) A medicine with diuretic properties.
Example Sentences:
(1) A sensitive, selective and easy to use high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of cicletanide, a new diuretic, in plasma, red blood cells, urine and saliva is described.
(2) In addition, recent studies have not confirmed previous observations that diuretic-induced hypokalaemia increases ventricular ectopy or contributes to sudden death.
(3) Lisinopril increases cardiac output, and decreases pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and mean arterial pressure in patients with congestive heart failure refractory to conventional treatment with digitalis and diuretics.
(4) All patients received digoxin and low dose diuretic therapy.
(5) Guanabenz is acutely natriuretic and diuretic in saline expanded animals.
(6) However, the diuretic effect of 1 mg bumetanide is equivalent to 40 to 60 mg furosemide or ethacrynic acid.
(7) A group of [4-(2-bromoalkanoyl)phenoxy]acetic acids was studied to determine if there was an association between the alkylating ability and the diuretic activity of its members.
(8) The drug I started taking caused an irritating, chronic cough, which disappeared when I switched to an inexpensive diuretic.
(9) Changes in contractility were correlated with severity of disease, as defined by New York Heart Association class, dose of diuretics, left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure.
(10) The development of renal insufficiency during enalapril therapy may be exacerbated by concomitant diuretic therapy and should raise the suspicion of underlying transplant renal-artery stenosis.
(11) Additional potential therapeutic categories include low-dose oral contraceptives, bronchodilating agents, oral diuretics, and oral anticoagulants.
(12) The association of prazosine with a thiazide diuretic was not considered successful.
(13) S-8666, [6, 7-dichloro-5-(N, N-dimethylsulfamoyl)-2, 3-dihydrobenzofurancarboxylic acid] is a potent diuretic with uricosuric action.
(14) The drugs used in early studies - diuretics, vasodilators and reserpine - greatly improved mortality from malignant hypertension, apoplectic stroke and congestive heart failure, but had little or no effect in persons with milder degrees of elevated blood pressure, who constitute the vast majority of hypertensives.
(15) These, of course, require specific, directed drug management: anti-adrenergic treatment, diuretic treatment, administration of spironolactone, etc.
(16) Diuretics may, however, be hazardous because of their effects on electrolytes-notably potassium-thereby increasing the risk of arrhythmias.
(17) They had taken no diuretics and no converting-enzyme inhibitors for more than four days.
(18) Patients with acute congestive cardiac failure had elevated plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) which fell towards normal levels with successful diuretic therapy.
(19) Diuretics remain the mainstay of therapy for most hypertensive black patients.
(20) After a dramatic improvement at the time of the system activation, the urinary output remained adequate, thus allowing for a decreasing need for diuretic therapy.
