Seizure and antidepressant drugs pharm Flashcards
Name the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
Acetazolamide
Where do carbonic anhydrase inhibitors work?
Proximal tubule

metabolic acidosis
What do loop diuretics block?
NKCC2 pump
Where do loop diuretics work>
TAL
Name the two loop diuretics
furosemide and ethacrynic acid
Where do thiazides work?
DCT
What do thiazides block?
NCC in DCT
How does spironolactone work?
It blocks the aldosterone receptor in principal cells so that ENaC channels do not open, sodium stays in urine; can not come into cell
Where do potassium sparing diuretics work?
principal cells of the collecting tubules
How does amiloride work?
It blocks the ENaC channels and inhibits sodium influx
Where does conivapton work? How?
Collecting tubule, it blocks ADH so no AQP channels to allow water in
