5 types of DIURETICS
1.carbonic anhydrase inhibitors 2. loop diuretics 3.osmotic diuretics 4.potassium-sparing diuretics 5.thiazides&related diuretics
Hypertension may be treated by giving an antihypertensive drug and what 2 types of diuretics?
Loop diuretics & thiazides and related diuretics
CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITORS
-sulfonamides w/ nonbacteriostatic action. -carbonic anhydrase enzyme makes free H ions. -excretes Na,K,bicarb,water. -decreases IOP *glaucoma
ACETAZOLAMIDE (Diamox)
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor *glaucoma,edema,epilepsy. onset 1-2hrs for8-12hrs
FUROSEMIDE (Lasix)
Loop Diuretic *HTN,edema,cirrhosis,renal disease
LOOP DIURETICS
Lasix:^Na+Cl excretion>>inhibits reabsorption in distal&proximal tubules & in loop of Henle. Bumex:^excretion of Cl,some Na. acts on proximal tubule.
BUMETANIDE (Bumex)
Loop Diuretic (PO IV IM) *CHF+pulmonary edema, cirrhosis, renaldisease. onset 30-60min for 4-6hrs
OSMOTIC DIURETICS
- ^ the density of the filtrate in the glomerulus, prevents selective reabsorption of water>>H2O,Na,Cl excretion ^
MANNITOL (Osmitrol)
Osmotic Diuretic (IV) *renal failure, IOP,cerebral edema,irrigation contraindicated: active intracranial bleeding
POTASSIUM-SPARING DIURETICS
-saves K -Spironolactone:blocks aldosterone activity=blocks Na reabsorption@distaltubule>>Na+H2O excreted
SPIRONOLACTONE (Aldactone)
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics *HTN,edema,cirrhosis,renal disease. men may develop gynecomastia
THIAZIDES & RELATED DIURETICS
-inhibits Na+Cl reabsorption in ascending LoopofHenle & early distal tubule>> Na,Cl,H2O excreted. preg: B
CHLOROTHIAZIDE (Diuril)
Thiazide & related diuretics (PO IV) *HTN,edema,cirrhosis,corticosteroid & estrogen therapy
HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE (HydroDIURIL)
Thiazide & related diuretics *HTN,edema,cirrhosis,corticosteroid & estrogen therapy
Uses of DIURETICS (4)
1.Edema(CHF, cirrhosis, corticosteroid/ estrogen therapy, cerebral). 2.HTN 3.Renaldisease 4.Glaucoma(^IOP)
