What are some common diuretics?
Common diuretics include thiazide diuretics like hydrochlorothiazide, loop diuretics such as furosemide (Lasix), and potassium-sparing diuretics like spironolactone. Thiazide diuretics are often used to treat high blood pressure, while loop diuretics are typically prescribed for conditions like heart failure and edema. Potassium-sparing diuretics help prevent potassium loss, which can occur with other diuretics. Each type has distinct mechanisms and uses in medical treatment.
How are diuretics grouped?
Diuretics are grouped into three main categories: thiazide diuretics, loop diuretics, and potassium-sparing diuretics. Each category works by different mechanisms to increase urine output and reduce fluid retention in the body.
