Azide side effects
- hypokalemia
- hyperurecemia
- xerostomia
- anorexia
Loop diuretics act on
- ascending loop of Henle
- inhibits re-absorption of Na with concurrent loss of H2O
5 types of antihypertensives
- diuretics
- adrenergic effects
- CCB
- ACEI
- ARB
Azides act on
distal convoluted tubule
azide side effects
- hypokalemia
- hyperurecemia
- xerostomia
- anorexia
Loop diuretics act on
- ascending loop of Henle
- inhibits re-absorption of Na with concurrent loss of H2O
Loop diuretics side effects
- hypokalemia
2. hyperurecemia
A2 agonist
- CGF
1. chlonidine
2. guanabenz
3. fadolmadine
Groups of K+ sparing diuretics
- SEAT
1. Spironolactone/eplereone - competitive antagonist with aldosterone
2. amiloride/triamterene - block Na+ channels in distal end of distal tubules
K+ sparing side effects
- hyperkalemia
2. arrythmia
A2 agonist side effects
- drowsiness
2. sedation (esp chlonidine)
A2 agonist
- CGF
1. chlonidine
