title: The role of osmotic diuretics in the management of eclampsia in Karachi women.
abstract: In the present work, out of eighty (80) patients selected, suffering from eclampsia, thirty-five (35) were subjected to the combined therapy of diazepam (7-Chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1, 4-benzo-diazepin-2-one) and mannitol (Osmotic diuretic) and forty-five (45) patients were administered diazepam only. Consequently it was inferred that osmotic diuretic (mannitol) exhibits beneficial effects on the management of eclampsia, thereby lowering the mortality and morbidity.
