Azosemide is a diuretic drug used in the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure. It is a thiazide-like diuretic, meaning it works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney. This increases the amount of water and electrolytes excreted in the urine, which helps to reduce blood pressure. Azosemide is also used to reduce edema, or fluid retention, in patients with congestive heart failure. Azosemide is available in both generic and brand-name formulations. It is typically taken orally, but can also be administered intravenously. Common side effects of azosemide include dizziness, headache, nausea, and electrolyte imbalances. Some companies in the Azosemide market include Merck, Pfizer, Sanofi, and Teva Pharmaceuticals. Show Less Read more
