Term
Acetazolamide - MOA?
Definition
Inhibits carbonic anhydrase
Term
Acetazolamide - effects?
Definition
reduces reabsorption of bicarb in the proximal tubule, causing self-limited diuresis, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis reduces body pH, reduced intraocular pressure
Term
Acetazolamide - clinical applications?
Definition
Glaucoma, mountain sickness, edema with alkalosis
Term
Acetazolamide - kinetics, tox?
Definition
oral and topical, 8-12 hr DOA, tox - metabolic acidosis, rental stones, hyperammonia in cirrhotics
Term
What kind of drugs are brinzolamide and dorzolamide? What are they used for?
Definition
carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, topical for glaucoma
Term
Furosemide - MOA?
Definition
inhibits the Na/K/2Cl transporter in the thick ascending limb
Term
Furosemide - effects?
Definition
Marked increase in NaCl excretion, some K wasting, hypokalemic metabolic acidosis, increased URINE Ca and Mg
Term
Furosemide - clinical applications?
Definition
Pulmonary edema, peripheral edema, hypertension, acute hypercalcemia or hyperkalemia, acute renal failure, anion overdose
Term
Furosemide - kinetics, tox?
Definition
Oral and parenteral, 2-4hr DOA, ototoxicity, hypovolemia, K wasting, hyperuricemia, hypomagnesemia
Term
What are bumetanide and torsemide?
Definition
Sulfonamide loop agents like furosemide
Term
What is ethacrynic acid?
Definition
Not a sulfonamide but has typical loop activity and some uricosuric action
Term
HCTZ - MOA?
Definition
Inhibition of the Na/Cl transporter in the distal convoluted tubule
Term
HCTZ - effects?
Definition
Modest increase in NaCl excretion, some K wasting, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, decreased urine Ca
Term
HCTZ - clinical applications?
Definition
HTN, mild heart failure, nephrolithiasis, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Term
HCTZ - kinetics, tox?
Definition
Oral, duration 8-12 hr, hypokalemic metabolic acidosis, hyperuricemia, hyperglycemia, hyponatremia
Term
Metazoline is popular for use WITH what types of drugs?
Definition
loop agents, for synergistic effect
Term
What is the only parenteral thiazide available?
Definition
chlorothiazide
Term
Spironolactone - MOA?
Definition
pharmacologist antagonist of aldosterone, weak antagonism of androgen receptors
Term
Spironolactone - effects?
Definition
Reduces Na retention and K wasting, poorly understood antagonism of aldosterone in heart and vessels
Term
Spironolactone - clinical applications?
Definition
aldosteronism from any cause, hypokalemia occurring from other diuretics, post-MI
Term
Spironolactone - kinetics, tox?
Definition
Slow onset and offset, 24-28 hr duration, hyperkalemia, gynecomastia, additive interaction with other K-sparing drugs
Term
Amiloride - MOA?
Definition
Blocks epithelial sodium channels in collecting tubules
Term
Amiloride - effects?
Definition
Reduces Na retention and K wasting, increases lithium clearance
Term
Amiloride - clinical applications?
Definition
hypokalemia occurring from other diuretics, reduces lithium-induced polyuria
Term
Amiloride - kinetics, tox?
Definition
orally active, duration 24h, hyperkalemic metabolic acidosis
Term
What is eplerenone?
Definition
Like spironolactone, more selective for aldosterone receptor
Term
What is
Definition
Term
What is triamterene?
Definition
mechanism like amiloride, much less potent and more toxic
Term
What is triamterene?
Definition
mechanism like amiloride, much less potent and more toxic
Term
Mannitol - MOA?
Definition
physical osmotic effect, contained in the vascular compartment
Term
Mannitol - effects?
Definition
marked increase in urine flow, reduced brain volume, decreased IOP, initial hyponatremia, then hypernatremia
Term
Mannitol - clinical applications?
Definition
renal failure due to increased solute load (rhabdo, chemo), increased ICP, glaucoma
Term
Mannitol - kinetics, tox?
Definition
IV, N/V/H
Term
Conivaptan - MOA?
Definition
Antagonist at V1a and V2 ADH receptors
Term
Conivaptan - effects?
Definition
Reduces water reabsorption, increases plasma Na concentration
Term
Conivaptan - clinical applications?
Definition
hyponatremia
Term
Conivaptan - kinetics, tox?
Definition
IV only, infusion site reactions
