(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.

(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.

Squill
Definition:
(n.) A mantis.
(n.) A European bulbous liliaceous plant (Urginea, formerly Scilla, maritima), of acrid, expectorant, diuretic, and emetic properties used in medicine. Called also sea onion.
(n.) Any bulbous plant of the genus Scilla; as, the bluebell squill (S. mutans).
(n.) A squilla.
Example Sentences:
(1) Red squill bulbs, with reported specific rodenticidal properties, have been assayed for their content of the two main glycosides, scilliroside and scillaren A, by a method depending on the separation of the glycosides from purified plant extracts by tlc followed by spectrophotometric (uv and visible) determination of the individual glycosides in the eluates.
(2) The structure of sinistrin from red squill (Urginea maritima) was determined by methylation analysis and 13C NMR spectroscopy, using the fructans from Pucinella peisonis and quack-grass (Agropyron repens) as reference substances.
(3) The method was found convenient for assessment of the potency of red squill bulbs.
(4) In a randomized, controlled, double-blind study 2 groups of 7 patients each with coronary heart disease received either 1 mg methylproscillaridin (MP) a cardiac glycoside of the squill intravenously, or placebo to test the inotropic effect of MP.
