Osmotic diuretics are a type of diuretic not a specific drug. Osmotic diuretics work by increasing blood flow to the kidneys and preventing the tubes in the kidneys from making such concentrated urine so that there is no gradient for water to be reabsorbed so you will pee all that water out. An example of an osmotic diuretic is mannitol.
