Compromised renal fxn
Side effects:
Dehydration
Hypokalemia
—Used w/ K supplements or K sparing diuretics
Increased Ca excretion→Hypocalcemia

Short term effect
Not used primarily as diuretic
Other uses:
- Treats open angle glaucoma
- Mountain sickness (by lowering CSF volume)

Rocuronium
Antinicotinic agent
non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers
Most common one
Spironolactone
K sparing diuretic
Aldosterone antagonist
Mech:
Blocks aldosterone receptor
Aldosterone is responsible for synth of Na-K exchanger
Takes days to be effective
Clinical use
Used w/ other diuretics to prevent K loss
To treat excess aldosterone production
SE
hyperkalemia
Spironolactone is a steroid and can have anti-androgenic effect (breast growth,etc)
Eplerenone-fewer interactions w/ steroid receptors
Aldosterone antagonists
K sparing diuretics
Spironolactone
Eplerenone
Varenicline
Direct partial nicotinic agonist
Binds to receptor but does not fully activate it. Thus prevents others from binding.
