Abstract

1. 1. The oral administration of mercupurin tablets is valuable in the treatment of ambulatory patients with chronic congestive heart failure. 2. 2. Oral administration of mercurial diuretics may be more practical and more efffective than parenteral administration in some ambulatory patients with chronic or recurrent congestive heart failure. 3. 3. The method of administration and dosage must be individualized to obtain satisfactory results. 4. 4. Minor toxic manifestations occur in some patients but offer no serious obstacle to the continuance of treatment, provided that the patients are carefully followed. 5. 5. One instance of severe mercurialism was observed which makes it necessary to stress the importance of adequate supervision of patients receiving this drug. Unless patients can be seen once a week for the necessary clinical and laboratory examinations, oral mercupurin therapy should not be used.
