Sodium Edecrin


Generic Name: Ethacrynate Sodium Injection (eth-a-KRIN-ate soe-DEE-um)
Brand Name: Sodium Edecrin

Sodium Edecrin is a strong "water pill" (diuretic). Using too much of Sodium Edecrin can lead to serious water and mineral loss. Therefore, it is important that you be monitored by your doctor. Promptly notify your doctor if you become very thirsty, have a dry mouth, become confused, or develop muscle cramps/weakness.


Sodium Edecrin is used for:

Treating swelling due to congestive heart failure, liver problems, and severe kidney problems. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Sodium Edecrin is a loop diuretic. It works by making the kidneys eliminate larger amounts of electrolytes (especially sodium and potassium salts) and water than normal (diuretic effect). It is useful for treating many conditions in which salt and water retention (eg, edema, swelling) is a problem.

Do NOT use Sodium Edecrin if:

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Sodium Edecrin or to sulfonamides
  • you are unable to urinate
  • you are taking an aminoglycoside antibiotic (eg, gentamicin) or cephalosporin (eg, cephalexin)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
