Description |
Ticrynafen, or tienilic acid, is a diuretic drug with uric acid-lowering (uricosuric) action, formerly marketed for the treatment of hypertension. It was withdrawn in 1982, shortly after its introduction to the market, after case reports in the United States indicated a link between the use of ticrynafen and hepatitis. (Manier et al., 1982)
