Frusemide--digitalis interaction on experimental model.
Interaction of frusemide and digitalis on frog heart has been studied. It was found that like digitalis, frusemide did not have any effect on normal heart, but restored the normal myocardial contraction of the hypodynamic frog heart. Frusemide induced cardiac arrest when administered during digoxin infusion. It is suggested that interaction of frusemide and digoxin has additive effect.
