Ethacrynic acid:
1. greater efficacy
2. more side effects
than Furosemide
(if this is what u're looking for.......not sure what you meant by "clinically different")

ethacrynic is not an amide --> so it can be administered in patients with sulfa allergy , G6PD def etc
also does not raises uric acid
i hope this is what you mean :?
