QuestionAnswer
Diuretic Drugs Drugs that accelerate the rate of urine formation Result: removal of sodium and water
Diuretic Drugs types Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors Loop diuretics Osmotic diuretics Potassium-sparing diuretics Thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics
CAI: Mechanism of Action CAIs blocks carbonic anhydrase= preventing exchange of H+ ions w/ Na & H20 distally to glomerulus Inhibit of carbonic anhydrase=↓ H+ ion concentration in renal tubules→ ↑ excretion of bicarb, Na+H2O & K+ Resorption H20 ↓ urine volume is ↑
CAI drugs acetazolamide (Diamox), methazolamide, Dichlorphenamide
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors: Indications Long management open angle glaucoma short term w/ miotics ↓ intraocular pressure Edema 2nd to HF=others aren’t effective CAI are ↓ potent loop diuretics/thiazides metabolic acidosis↓ diuretic effect in 2-4days Epilepsy High-altitude sick
CAI Adverse Effects **Metabolic acidosis** Anorexia Hematuria Photosensitivity Melena (blood in stool) **Hypokalemia** Drowsiness Paresthesias Urticaria
CAI drug-drug interactions Digitalis + coticosteroids b/c they both cause ↓ K+ Amphetamines, carbamazepine, cyclosporine, phenytoin, and quinidine can cause toxic (to those drugs)
Loop Diuretics bumetanide (Bumex) ethacrynic acid (Edecrin) furosemide (Lasix) Torsemide
Lood Diuretics- MOA Act directly on the ascending limb of the loop of Henle to inhibit Cl- & Na+ reabsorption  b/p,  PVR,  SVR,  CVP,  LVEDP
Loop Diuretics: Drug Effects Fast acting. Only last for 2 hours ↓ fluid volume causes: ↓BP ↓ pulmonary vascular resistance ↓ systemic vascular resistance ↓ central venous pressure ↓ left ventricular end-diastolic pressure Potassium and sodium depletion
Loop Diuretics: Contraindications Allergy, sulfonamide antibiotics, hepatic coma, and severe electrolyte loss. Potassium levels 3-5.3
Loop Diuretics: Adverse Effects Dizziness, headache, tinnitus, blurred vision N/V/D Agranulocytosis, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia Hypokalemia, hyperglycemia,hyperuricemia **major adverse effect is electrolyte disturbance Prolong use can cause hearing loss from ototoxicity
Osmotic Diuretics MOA Work in entire nephron osmotic effect Pull H20 into renal tubules from surrounding tissues Inhibits tubular resorption of H2O & solutes → ↑ diuresis vasodilation → prevents kidney damage during acute renal failure↓ excessive intraocular pressure
Osmotic Drugs mannitol (Osmitrol)
Osmotic Indication Used in the treatment in early oliguric phase of ARF To promote the excretion of toxic substances ↓ intracranial pressure Treatment of cerebral edema NOT indicated for peripheral edema b/c it doesn’t excrete ↑ Na+
Osmotic Adverse Effects Convulsions, Thrombophlebitis, Pulmonary congestion Also headaches, chest pains, tachycardia, blurred vision, chills, & fever
osmotic interventions Intravenous infusion only. Filter is required May crystallize when exposed to low temperatures (keep in warm area)
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics Also known as aldosterone-inhibiting diuretics amiloride (Midamor) spironolactone (Aldactone) triamterene (Dyrenium)
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics MOA Work in collecting ducts/distal convoluted tubules Interfere with Na-K exchange Competitively bind to aldosterone receptors Block the resorption of Na& H20 Prevent K from being pumped into the tubule= no secretion ↑ excretion of Na& H20
K sparing indications: spironolactone and triamterene Hyperaldosteronism Hypertension Reversing the potassium loss → potassium-losing drugs Certain cases of heart failure Amiloride - Treatment of HF
K sparing ADR CNS - Dizziness, headache; GI - Cramps, n/v/d; Other urinary frequency, weakness, **hyperkalemia**
Thiazide and Thiazide-like Diuretics Thiazide diuretics bendroflumethiazide hydrochlorothiazide (Esidrix, HydroDIURIL) chlorothiazide (Diuril) indapamide Thiazide-like diuretics chlorthalidone (Hygroton) metolazone (Mykrox, Zaroxolyn)
Thiazide and Thiazide-like Diuretics: MOA Inhibit tubular resorption of sodium, chloride, and potassium ions Action primarily in the distal convoluted tubule Result: water, sodium, and chloride are excreted Potassium is also excreted to a lesser extent Dilate the arterioles by direct relaxati
Thiazide and Thiazide-like Diuretics: indications HTN, Edematous states,hepatic cirrhosis,corticosteroid/estrogen therapy Idiopathic hypercalciuria DI, HF from diastolic dysfunction **Thiazides shouldn't be used if creatinine clearance is <30-50 mL/min (WNL 125 mL/min)
Thiazide and Thiazide-like Diuretics ADR: Dizziness, HA, blured vision, paresthesia, decreased libido, anorexia, N/V/D, pancreatitis, cholecystitis, impotence, jaundice, leukopenia, agranulocytosis, anemia, urticaria, photosensitivity, hypokalemia, hypochloremic alkalosis, hyperuricemia,
Thiazide and Thiazide-like Diuretics drug interactions Corticosteroids Lithium Digoxin Diazoxide NSAIDS Oral hypoglycemia
Angina Chest pain
Ischemia Poor blood supply to the heart muscle Atherosclerosis Coronary artery disease
Myocardial Infarction (MI) Necrosis, or death, of cardiac tissue Disabling or fatal Turns into scare tissue
Drugs for angina * b(beta)-blockers Nitroglycerin * Calcium channel blockers
Nitrates :NTG Vasodilation relaxation of smooth muscle
NTG: conraindications Drug allergies, severe anemia, closed-angle glaucoma, hypotension, severe head injury Erective dysfunction drugs:
NTG: ADR HA, Tachycardia, postural hypotension
NTG implications Never to chew or swallow,Constipation is a common problem Avoid alcohol, hot tubs, saunas, excessive exertions vaso dila Lie down after administration
Beta blockers- end in "olol" Angina Antihypertensive
Bete Blocker drugs metoprolol (Lopressor)= less side effects *nadolol (Corgard)
Beta Blocker ADR Bradycardia,fatigue, impotence,
Calcium channel blockers *diltiazem (Cardizem) *amlodipine (Norvasc)
Ca Channel blockers implications: weight gain > 2 lbs./day or > 5 lbs/week, pulse rates < 60, and any dyspnea
Antihistamines MOA: decrease histamine effects: ADR:drowsiness, Contrain: drug allergy Drugs:loratadine (claritin) (nonsedating) Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) (nonsedating)
Decongestants MOA: shrink engorged nasal mucous and relieve nasal stuffiness ADR: insomnia, palpitations. & temors Contrain: allergy
Antitussives MOA: suppress coughing ADR: dizziness, HA, N/V, sedation, constipation, lightheadedness, Contrain: allergy, high risk for respiratory depression Drugs: dextromethorpham,
Expectorants MOA: reflex stimulation (loosens & thins secretions), stimulation of secretory glands in respiratory tract, ADR:N/V gastric irritation Contrain: allergy Drug: guasigenesin
Dx of Respiratory System Astma, Chronic bronchitis, Emphysema
