Furosemide Absorption
- Furosemide's poor absorption in heart failure is a clinical pearl.
- Gut edema is wrongly assumed to be the cause.
Furosemide Bioavailability
- Furosemide absorption varies, from 10% to 100%.
- This variability exists between and within patients, even without heart failure.
Absorption Site
- Furosemide is absorbed in the stomach and small bowel.
- Duodenal absorption is thought to be more significant.
