diuretic
Yes, diuretics are medications specifically designed to increase urine secretion. They promote the excretion of water and electrolytes, primarily sodium, from the kidneys, leading to increased urine production. Diuretics are commonly used to manage conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, and edema. By enhancing urine output, they help reduce fluid overload in the body.
Bicarbonate ions are excreted in the urine along with water when a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor is used. This class of medication prevents the reabsorption of bicarbonate in the kidneys, leading to increased excretion of bicarbonate in the urine. This can help in managing conditions such as metabolic alkalosis or glaucoma.

Acetazolamide is a medication that is primarily used to treat glaucoma by reducing intraocular pressure. It is also used to prevent and treat altitude sickness by promoting excretion of bicarbonate in the urine, which leads to metabolic acidosis and stimulates breathing to increase oxygen levels at high altitudes. Additionally, acetazolamide is used in certain neurological conditions such as epilepsy and as a diuretic in some cases.
A group of drugs used to increase urine output.
Peritol is a medication that is used to increase appetite. It is generally used for those who need to gain weight.
Platypuses have a cloaca, which is used for both excretion and reproduction.
No, Thiazide Diuretics actually increase renal excretion of Phosphate. They inhibit the sodium-chloride symporter in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney, leading to increased excretion of sodium, chloride, and also phosphate.
Some medication may affect body temperature. It can increase or decrease body temperature. I.e. tylenol may decrease temperature if you have fever. Some stimulant may increase temperature when used, etc.
