Diuretic equivalence of frusemide preparations
New Zealand Medical Journal 1979; 90:209

Abstract:

The Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association is of the opinion that the Department of Health and the medical profession have no guarantee of equivalence when a generic product is marketed. The PMA hopes that the Department of Health will pay more attention to quality and less attention to price.
