All of the following are true regarding diuretics except:-
Name Site of action Example Mechanism Loop diuretics Thick ascending limb of Loop of Henle Furosemide Torsemide Na-K-2Cl sympoer inhibition Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors PCT Acetazolamide Dorzolamide Brinzolamide Carbonic anhydrase inhibition Thiazides DCT Hydrochlohiazide Chlohalidone Na-Cl sympoer inhibition Osmotic diuretics Non-specific Mannitol By osmotic effect Epithelial sodium channel blockers Collecting duct Amiloride Triamterene eNa channel blockade Aldosterone antagonists Collecting duct Spironolactone Epleronone Antagonism of aldosterone receptors
Spironolactone is a potassium sparing drug
Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic
Thiazides act by inhibiting sodium-potassium chloride co-transpo
Acetazolamide inhibits carbonic anhydrase enzyme
