Subdiuretic dose of furosemide enhances albuterol effects in asthmatic mice rather than bumetanide

What is it about?

Furosemide orally or by injection causes salt and water loss (diuretic effect). Giving a subdiuretic dose of furosemide by inhalation enhanced effects of albuterol (a medication that relax bronchi) in asthmatic mice. This was more than effects of bumetanide which is a diuretic from the same class.
