Diurese is one of the most potent thiazide
DOA: 24 hrs
Metabolism: Unchanged urinary excretion

21
Q

Methyclothiazide? DOA? Metabolism?

A

Enduron, Aquatensen is one of the most potent thiazide
DOA: 24 hrs
Metabolism: Unchanged urinary excretion

22
Q

Polythiazide? DOA? Metabolism?

A

Renese is one of the most potent thiazide
DOA: 24-48 hrs
Metabolism: Unchanged urinary excretion

23
Q

Hydroflumethiazide? F? t1/2? DOA? Metabolism?

A

Saluron has a low potency
t1/2: 17 hrs
DOA: 18-24 hr
Metabolism: unchanged urinary excretion

24
Q

What is the most dangerous ADR of diuretics?

A

Hypokalemia

25
Q

Bendroflumethizide? F? T1/2? DOA? Metabolism?

A

Naturein is a potent thiazide
F: 90% due to lipophilicity
t1/2: 8-9 hrs
DOA: 6-12 hrs
Metabolism: unchanged urinary excretion

26
Q

ADRS of thiazide? How do you prevent them?

A
  1. Hypokalemia, thiazides are usually administered with K+ supplements
  2. Hypochloremia, hypoatremia, hypercalcemia, hyperuricemia, supplements and gout meds are given
27
Q

Long term use leads to what kind of ADRs?

A

glucose intolerance and/or increased blood lipids

28
Q

Characteristics of loop diuretics?

A
  1. High-ceiling (more potent=more diuresis)
  2. Sulfonamide derivatives
29
Q

Describe loops site of action? Onset? DOA?

A
  1. thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle
  2. Quick onset
  3. Short DOA
30
Q

Loop diuretic MOA?

A
  1. Diuresis effect by inhibiting Na+/K+/2Cl-
  2. Prevents ion from being reabsorbed in ascending portion that doesn’t allow water to be reabsorbed -> more diuresis
31
Q

ADRs of loops?

A

Hypokalemia and hypocalcemia

32
Q

Furosemide? Onset? DOA? Excretion?

A

Lasix is more acidic than thiazide (carboxylate), 8-10 fold more potent than thiazides
Onset: 30 min
DOA: 6-8 hr
Metabolism: Primarily excreted unchanged

33
Q

What is Lasix primarily used for?

A

Furosemide: CHF, renal/hepatic edema, other edemas not primarily for HTN

34
Q

How does bumetanide differ from lasix structurally? How does this benefit?

A
  1. 4-Cl has been replaced by 4-phenoxy
  2. 6 amino has been moved to 5-amino
    Bumedex’s structural changes leads to 50x more potency than lasix
35
Q

What is the indications for torsemide? Onset? DOA?

A

Demadex is indicated for CHF and some HTN
1. Sulfonamide is changed to sulfonylurea
Onset: 1-2 hrs
DOA: 6 hrs

36
Q

How does ethacrynic acid differ from other loop diuretics?

A
  1. Edecrin is a phenoxyacetic acid derivative
  2. Sulfhydryl enzymes allows solute reabsorption, however Edecrin (olefin) covalently binds to enzymes disengaging it
37
Q

What is the MOAs of Edecrin?

A
  1. Sulfhydryl inhibitor
  2. Olefin reduction -> diuresis
38
Q

What is potassium sparing diuretics? MOA?

A

Aldosterone antagonist that inhibits it from promoting K+ excretion and Na+/Cl- reabsorption

39
Q

What are the dangers of diuretics other than K+-sparing?

A

K+ wasting leading to hypokalemia which can be fatal

40
Q

What is spironolactone’s indication? Binding? ADR?

A

Aldactone
Edema from cirrhosis given concurrently with K+ wasters

Produrg that binds to aldosterone receptors once activated

41
Q

ADRs of Aldactone?

A

Hyperkalemia
Decreased libido and impotence

42
Q

How is ALDACTONE metabolized?

A

Prodrug (Aldactone) -> Canrenone

42
Q

What is eplerenone? Indication? t1/2? Metabolism?

A

HTN and CHF
t1/2: 5-6 hrs
Its lipophilicity requires more metabolism therefore, it undergoes extensive metabolized to inactive metabolites

42
Q

What are other K+ sparing diuretics? ADRs?

A
  1. Epithelial sodium channel inhibitors
  2. Non-aldosterone based drugs
43
Q

Triamterine? Class? t1/2? Metabolism?

A

Dyrenium, Dyazide
Class: triame, Blocks Na/K channel
t1/2: 2h
Metabolism: 4-hydroxytriamterine (inactive)

43
Q

Amiloride? Class? t1/2? Metabolism? Structure?

A

Midamor
Class: diamine guanidine, block Na/K channel
t1/2: 6-10 h
Metabolism: excreted unchanged

44
Q

What are the general MOAs of K+ sparing diuretics? ADRs?

A

Blocks Na+ reabsorption

Hyponatremia and hypocalcemia

45
Q

What is the epithelial sodium channel MOA?

A

No K+ is allowed to be excreted
