Furosemide after delivery for severe preeclampsia
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a medicine called furosemide (a water pill) can help women recover from severe preeclampsia after giving birth. If you join, you may receive furosemide or a placebo (inactive pill) to see if it improves blood pressure and reduces swelling.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
