Pharmacology Diuretics (original) (raw)

This paper discusses various classes of diuretics and their pharmacological mechanisms of action. It highlights the function of these drugs in inhibiting sodium and bicarbonate reabsorption, resulting in increased diuresis, and reviews their therapeutic uses, side effects, and the nuances of their administration. Specific attention is given to carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, loop diuretics, thiazides, and potassium-sparing diuretics, outlining their impact on clinical conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, and metabolic disorders.
