Acetazolamide (Diamox) MOA
Inhibits luminal carbonic anhydrase at proximal tubule –> less activity of Na/H antiporter, decreased HCO3 and Na+ (and water) reabsorption
Methazolamide (Neptazane) MOA
Inhibits luminal carbonic anhydrase at proximal tubule –> less activity of Na/H antiporter, decreased HCO3 and Na+ (and water) reabsorption
Theophylline (Theolair) MOA
Phosphodiesterase inhibition and enhanced signalling via increased cAMP and cGMP; works at proximal tubule; decreased HCO3 and Na+ (and water) reabsorption
Mannitol (Osmitrol) MOA
Opposes water and sodium reabsorption at proximal tubule –> increased osmolarity of tubular fluid
Furosemide (Lasix) MOA
Inhibits Cl portion of Na-K-2Cl cotransporter in luminal membrane at medullary and cortical (proximal) talH –> decreased K+, Ca++ and Na+ reabsorption, resultant K+ loss
Bumetanide (Bumex) MOA
Inhibits Cl portion of Na-K-2Cl cotransporter in luminal membrane at medullary and cortical (proximal) talH –> decreased K+, Ca++ and Na+ reabsorption, resultant K+ loss
Torsemide (Demadex) MOA
Inhibits Cl portion of Na-K-2Cl cotransporter in luminal membrane at medullary and cortical (proximal) talH –> decreased K+, Ca++ and Na+ reabsorption, resultant K+ loss
Hydrochlorothiazide (Microzide) MOA
Inhibits the Cl portion of the Na-Cl cotransporter in the luminal membrane at the early distal tubule –> decreased Na+ (and water) reabsorption, increased Ca++ reabsorption, resultant K+ loss
Chlorthalidone (Thalitone) MOA
Inhibits the Cl portion of the Na-Cl cotransporter in the luminal membrane at the early distal tubule –> decreased Na+ (and water) reabsorption, increased Ca++ reabsorption, resultant K+ loss
Metolazone (Zaroxolyn) MOA
Inhibits the Cl portion of the Na-Cl cotransporter in the luminal membrane at the early distal tubule –> decreased Na+ (and water) reabsorption, increased Ca++ reabsorption, resultant K+ loss
Indapamide (Lozol) MOA
Inhibits the Cl portion of the Na-Cl cotransporter in the luminal membrane at the early distal tubule –> decreased Na+ (and water) reabsorption, increased Ca++ reabsorption, resultant K+ loss
Amiloride (Midamor) MOA
Blocks Na channel and Na/H antiporter in lumenal membrane at the late distal tubule and collecting duct –> decreased K+ secretion and distal tubule acid secretion, increased Ca++ absorption
Triamterene (Dyrenium) MOA
Blocks Na channel and Na/H antiporter in lumenal membrane at the late distal tubule and collecting duct –> decreased K+ secretion and distal tubule acid secretion, increased Ca++ absorption
Spironolactone (Aldactone) MOA
Competes for aldosterone receptor, inhibiting mRNA transcription and translation –> decreased Na and K channels, decreased number and activity of Na-K-ATPase pumps in the late distal tubule and collecting duct –> decreased K+ secretion, distal tubule acid secretion
Conivaptan (Vaprisol) MOA
Vasopressin (ADH) receptor antagonist working at collecting duct –> increased free water excretion
Acetazolamide (Diamox) Therapy
Decrease intraocular volume/pressure and the prevention and treatment of mountain sickness
Methazolamide (Neptazane) Therapy
Decrease intraocular volume/pressure and the prevention and treatment of mountain sickness
Theophylline (Theolair) Therapy
Reduce inflammation and bronchospasm in moderate to severe asthma, night symptoms; NOT as diuretic
Mannitol (Osmitrol) Therapy
Increased clearance of drugs, minimize renal failure (shock or surgery), decrease intraocular or intracranial pressures, diagnose oliguria
Furosemide (Lasix) Therapy
Crisis edema (pulmonary, CHF, cirrhosis), hypercalcemia, drug toxicity/OD; severe hypertension in setting of CHF or cirrhosis
Bumetanide (Bumex) Therapy
Crisis edema (pulmonary, CHF, cirrhosis), hypercalcemia, drug toxicity/OD; severe hypertension in setting of CHF or cirrhosis
