Renal & Urinary Drugs Flashcards
Furosemide (Lasix, Salix)
-Loop diuretic (inhibit tubular reabsorption of Na)
-Rapid onset of action
-Promote excretion of Cl, K, & H2O
-Treats Hypercalcemia nephropathy, uremia
-Reduces edema associated with CHF
Mannitol 20%
-Osmotic diuretic (exert osmotic pressure in renal tubules to limit tubular reabsorption)
-Treat oliguric renal failure
-Reduces intraocular & intracranial pressure
-Reduces edema, Ascites
Glycerine
-Osmotic diuretic (exert osmotic pressure in renal tubules to limit tubular reabsorption)
-Treat oliguric renal failure
-Reduces intraocular & intracranial pressure
-Reduces edema, Ascites
Chlorothiazide (Diuril)
-Thiazide diuretic
-Inhibit reabsorption of Na, Cl, & H2O
-Longer duration of action than loop diuretics
-Treats nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, calcium oxalate uroliths, hypoglycemia, heart failure
Hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDiuril)
-Thiazide diuretic
-Inhibit reabsorption of Na, Cl, & H2O
-Longer duration of action than loop diuretics
-Treats nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, calcium oxalate uroliths, hypoglycemia, heart failure
Spironolactone
-Potassium-sparing diuretic
-Aldosterone antagonist (enhances excretion of Na & H2O, but not K)
