40
Q

Acetazolamide

A

CA inhibitor, also blocks HCO3- Reabsorption
Used for Glaucoma, Metabolic Alkalosis, altitude
AE: Metabolic acidosis, Ammonium, Sulfa allergy

41
Q

Mannitol

A

Osmotic diuretic, increases tubular fluid osmolarity
Used for shock, ODs, ICP (when the bleed stops)

42
Q

Loop drugs

A

Furosemide and Ethacrynic acid

43
Q

Furosemide

A

A

Phenoxyacetic acid derivative, blocks Na/K/2Cl in TAL
AE: reversible ototoxicity, hypokalemia, alkalosis, hypoganesemia

45
Q

HCTZ

A

Q

Spironolactone, Eplerenone

A

Competitive aldosterone receptor blocker in cortical CT
Feminizing

47
Q

Triamterene, Amiloride

A

Block Na channels in cortical collecting tubule
Amiloride causes increase in Ca2+ reabsorption (helps tx Ca kidney stones)
AE: Hyperkalemia
