Diuretics Flashcards
What drugs are used to treat acute closed angle glaucoma?
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and beta blocker
Which 2 group of drugs should not be used with pt with closed angle glaucoma?
Anti M and alpha 1 agonist
What are the 2 ways of treating glaucoma and what drugs are used?
Decrease aqueous production: Beta blocker (Timolol) Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (acetazolamide) Increase drainage: M3 agonist (pilocarpine) Prostaglandin analog (latanoprost) Mannitol
What is AChE inhibitor’s affect on your blood vessel?
None (M3 is not innervated)
When an organ/muscle doesn’t respond to indirect agonist but respond to direct agonist, what could be the reason behind that?
Denervation of the organ/muscle
Why ganglionic blocker produce a significant tachycardia with NE?
NE has alpha 1 and beta 1 affect—>reflex bradycardia results from alpha 1 affect—>if block reflex—>unopposed beta 1 results in significant tachycardia
For diuretics, hypokalemia goes with?
Alkalosis (K secretion is coupled with H secretion)
Mannitol is contraindicated in ___ and ___ pt?
CHF and pulmonary edema
How does carbonic anhydrase work?
Na/H antiporter transport H out to the urine—>H combine with HCO3- —>H2CO3—(carbonic anhydrase)—>CO2 and H2O—>CO2 goes into the cell—>combine with H2O—(carbonic anhydrase)—>H2CO3—>H + HCO3- —>HCO3- goes into the blood
What is carbonic anhydrase side effect and what else does it treat besides HTN?
Metabolic acidosis/hyperchloremia (later Cl- reabsorption)/renal stone (due to alkaline urine)
acute mountain sickness
Decrease in bicarb will always accompany with the increase of?
Cl-
How is Na reabsorbed in the thick ascending limb of the kidney?
Na is absorbed with K+ and Cl- via Na/K/2Cl cotransporter—>create + potential along the luminal membrane—>facilitate Mg and Ca absorption between cells
What are the electrolyte disturbance created by loop diuretics?
They block Na/K/2Cl contrasporter—>hypo Na/K/Cl/Mg/Ca
Alkalosis
Ototoxicity
What are the loop diuretics?
Furosemide/torsemide/ethacrynic acid
What is loop used for?
Pul edema/HF/hypercalcemia/HTN (thiazide is better)
