Blocks Reabsorption
Rapid onset
Therapeutic uses
Pulmonary edema (pink, frothy sputum)
Edematous states
Hypertension
ADVERSE EFFECTS
Hyponatremia
Hypochloremia
Dehydration
Symptoms

Thrist
Decreased UOP
Weight Loss
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Digoxin (Heart arrhythmias)
Ototoxic drugs
Potassium-sparing diuretics
Lithium
Antihypertensive agents (become less affective)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (increase effect)
Thiazide
benzothiadiazides
Hydrochlorothiazide (similar to loop)
early segment distal convoluted tubule
Peaks in 4–6 hours
Therapeautic Uses
Hypertension
Edema
Diabetes insipidus
Adverse Effects
Hyponatremia, hypochloremia, and dehydration
Hypokalemia
Use in pregnancy and lactation
Enters breast milk
Hyperglycemia
Hyperuricemia
Impact on lipids, calcium, and magnesium
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Digoxin
Augments effects of hypertensive medications
Can reduce renal excretion of lithium (leading to accumulation)
Diuretics may blunt NSAIDs effect
Osmotic
mannitol
Potassium-sparing
Aldosterone antagonists
spironolactone
Aldactone
Blocks aldosterone in the distal nephron
Retention of potassium
Rapid excretion of sodium
Therapeautic Uses
Hypertension
Edematous states
Heart failure
Primary hyperaldosteronism
Premenstrual syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome
Acne in young women
Adverse effects
Hyperkalemia
Benign and malignant tumors
Endocrine effects
Drug interactions
Thiazide and loop diuretics
Agents that raise potassium levels
Potassium supplements, salt supplements
medications that elevate potassium
Nonaldosterone antagonists
triamterene
Dyrenium
Disrupts sodium-potassium exchange in the distal nephron
Decreases sodium reuptake
Inhibits ion transport
Therapeutic uses
Hypertension
Edema
Adverse effects
Hyperkalemia
Leg cramps
Nausea
Vomiting
Dizziness
Blood dyscrasias (rare)
Amiloride
Midamor
Blocks sodium-potassium exchange in the distal nephron
Therapeautic Effects
counteract potassium loss caused by more powerful diuretics
ADVERSE EFFECTS
Hyperkalemia
DRUG INTERACTION
ACE inhibitors
