Furosemide is a loop diuretic (water pill) that prevents your body from absorbing too much salt, allowing the salt to instead be passed in your urine. It is used in the treatment of congestive heart failure and edema. It is most commonly marketed by Sanofi-Aventis under the brand name Lasix. It has also been used to prevent Thoroughbred and Standardbred race horses from bleeding through the nose during races. Along with some other diuretics, furosemide is also included on the World Anti-Doping Agency\'s banned drug list due to its alleged use as a masking agent for other drugs. Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furosemide http://www.drugs.com/furosemide.html This substance was added to the doping list ahead of the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games.
