27
Q

Chronic use leads to decreased uric acid excretion which can lead to GOUT

A

Thiazides

28
Q

decreases Ca excretion and increases Mg excretion, also increases excretion of other halogens (Iodine, Bromine)

A

Thiazides

29
Q

Orally active with incomplete GI absorption (10-20%)

A

Thiazides

30
Q

relatively long-acting due to protein binding, but protein binding and duration varies greatly

A

Thiazides

31
Q

Adverse SE: mild GI symptoms

A

Thiazides

32
Q

Adverse SE: HYPOnatremia and dehydration

A

Thiazides

33

Thiazides

34
Q

Adverse SE: HYPERGLYCEMIA

A

Thiazides

35
Q

Adverse SE: uric acid buildup= GOUT

A

Thiazides

36
Q

General Therapeutic use: Hypertension (most common), edema of CHF or with chronic liver and renal disease

A

Thiazides

37
Q

Class of diuretics that have prompt onset and short duration of action

A

A

Loop diuretics

40
Q

Prototype: Furosemide, Ethacrynic acid

A

42
Q

MOA reduces the counter-current multiplier mechanism

A

Loop diuretics

43
Q

minor diuretic effect CA inhibitor; main effect occurs in ascending loop

A
