Ethacrynic Acid is a generic diuretic (“water pill”) that is the active ingredient in Edecrin, a brand-name prescription drug. Ethacrynic Acid increases the body's elimination of water and salt in the urine and is prescribed to patients who are retaining water and have edema (swelling) due to heart failure, kidney failure, or liver failure. Ethacrynic Acid can also be administered as an injection to treat acute pulmonary edema—excess fluid in the lungs—in an emergency situation.

Ethacrynic Acid belongs to a class of diuretics called loop diuretics that work by inhibiting the kidney's ability to reabsorb salt in a particular place in the kidneys. Loop diuretics are the strongest and fastest-acting diuretics, which is why Ethacrynic Acid is used in medical emergencies.

Ethacrynic Acid is taken as a tablet or administered as an injection in clinical or hospital settings.

Do not take Ethacrynic Acid if you are unable to urinate, or if you have recently had severe, watery diarrhea. Before taking Ethacrynic Acid, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions and all of the medicines you take, including prescription and OTC medications, vitamins, and supplements.
