1. Frusemide was given intravenously at a dose of 5 mg kg-1 to five healthy volunteers and the diuresis was assessed by frequent spontaneous voiding over 5 h. Urinary volume and contents of sodium, chloride, potassium and frusemide were measured. 2. Diuretic response was evaluated using the sigmoid Emax model and non linear regression of diuresis vs frusemide excretion rate. The time courses of diuresis (pharmacological effect) and diuretic efficiency were constructed from the fitted parameters of the sigmoid Emax model. 3. The frusemide excretion rate associated with maximum efficiency was found, as predicted theoretically, to be less than the excretion rate associated with 50% of maximum effect in four of the five subjects in whom the slope factor was less than 2. 4. The effect over time is dependent both on the instantaneous drug effect but also on its pharmacokinetic properties and mode of administration. An intravenous bolus is the least efficient mode of administration while a controlled input producing a frusemide excretion at maximum efficiency should yield up to a 2.3 times higher diuretic response.
