DIURETICS

Description

Diuretics: What are they?

Diuretics are a class of medication that removes excess fluid from the body. It’s important to note that there is a big difference between water and other types of fluids in your body, such as urine or blood. This may sound counterintuitive, but it’s a common treatment for certain medical conditions such as congestive heart failure and some types of kidney disease. Diuretics typically work by blocking the absorption of sodium into cells while increasing the output of chloride and potassium ions within cells by inhibiting their reabsorption. These molecules help flush out excess salt and water from our bodies through urination. Some examples include: Furosemide, Hydrochlorothiazide, Chlorothiazide, and Bumetanide.

In addition, they are often used in people who have been prescribed drugs that can cause fluid retention. You might be wondering why someone would want to take a medication that causes them to lose more fluids from their body when they’re already suffering from dehydration? The reason is that these medications help rid your body of excess sodium and water by increasing urine production. So while you might feel dehydrated at first, over time this medication will make you more hydrated!

Types of diuretics

There are three types: loop diuretics and thiazide diuretics which differ slightly in their mechanism of action and potential for adverse reactions. Loop diuresis is often used before surgery or medical procedures or if you have high blood pressure or edema (swelling) due to heart failure, liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, nephrotic syndrome, pulmonary fibrosis, or other conditions.

Thiazides are prescribed primarily for hypertension where they decrease blood pressure by reducing salt retention by the kidneys and increasing sodium excretion.

Potassium-sparing diuretics are a type of drug that reduces fluid levels in the body without causing you to lose potassium, an important nutrient. The other types are put out by your kidneys and can lead to health problems such as arrhythmia if taken too much or in long-term use. While these do not have quite enough effect for lowering blood pressure they still help prevent someone’s hypertension from getting worse due to how well it works with another medication called losartan which does this job pretty nicely all alone already!

Diuretics: Side effects and risk of overdose

Diuretics are drugs that make you urinate more frequently and forcefully. They can be prescribed to treat high blood pressure, fluid retention, and other conditions. Diuretics may also be used as a weight-loss aid or for recreational purposes (e.g., “water pills”). If you take too many diuretics, you can lose more than just water weight and could end up dehydrated with low levels of sodium in your blood (hyponatremia). You should not take more than the recommended dose of any kind of diuretic without your doctor’s supervision because it could have serious health consequences, such as rapid heartbeat, confusion, coma, or death from electrolyte imbalance.

Other side effects include dizziness or lightheadedness upon standing up quickly; lethargy; headache; feeling like you cannot breathe (especially with large doses); dry mouth; constipation. These side effects should subside with continued use of this medication as your body adjusts to it. If they persist contact your doctor immediately because it may be an indication that there is something wrong with how your body is processing this drug.
