Diuretics are substances whose administration increases urine production. Practical definition of a diuretic is a drug which increases the renal excretion of salt and water.
I created this slide to help summarise the main concepts from topic on Renal Diuretics.
Any substance that promotes the production of urine
All diuretics increase the excretion of water from bodies
Alternatively, an antidiuretic such as vasopressin, or antidiuretic hormone.
Diuretics are used to treat heart failure, liver cirrhosis, hypertension, water poisoning, and certain kidney diseases
This ppt tells us about the topics diuretics and antidiuretics.
It also indicates us about their classification, mechanism of action, side effects and many more.

Abnormalities in fluid volume and electrolyte composition are common and important clinical disorders. Drugs that block specific transport functions of the renal tubules are valuable clinical tools in the treatment of these disorders. Although various agents that increase urine volume (diuretics) have been described since antiquity, it was not until 1937 that carbonic anhydrase inhibitors were first described and not until 1957 that a much more useful and powerful diuretic agent (chlorothiazide) became available. Technically, a “diuretic” is an agent that increases urine volume, whereas a “natriuretic” causes an increase in renal sodium excretion and an “aquaretic” increases excretion of solute-free water. Because natriuretics almost always also increase water excretion, they are usually called diuretics. Osmotic diuretics and antidiuretic hormone antagonists (see Agents That Alter Water Excretion) are aquaretics that are not directly natriuretic.

Aldactone Tablets for Hypertension & Oedematous DisordersThe Swiss Pharmacy
Aldactone Tablets (Spironolactone) is used to treat hypertension, oedematous disorders, diagnosis and treatment of primary aldosteronism, reducing or preventing potassium loss due to thiazide diuretics and other conditions.
Aldactone (Spironolactone Tablets) is used to treat fluid retention (edema) caused by various conditions, including heart disease, cirrhosis of the liver and nephrotic syndrome; High blood pressure; Hyperaldosteronism ( a condition in which the body produces too much aldoterone, a naturally occurring hormone) and low potassium levels in the blood (hypokalemia).
Diuretics are medicines that help reduce fluid buildup in the body. They are sometimes called water pills. Most diuretics help the kidneys remove salt and water through the urine. This lowers the amount of fluid flowing through the veins and arteries. As a result, blood pressure goes down.
Diuretics are drugs that increase the flow of urine. They are commonly used to treat edema, hypertension, and heart failure. Typically, the pharmacological group consists of five classes: thiazide diuretics, loop diuretics, potassium-sparing diuretics, osmotic diuretics, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
There are three main types of diuretic: loop diuretics, thiazide diuretics and potassium-sparing diuretics.
This presentation is for the diploma students and it covers the topic diuretics. This course is designed to introduce to the students the concept of diuretics, summation of such search and writing a brief report based on collected information in student’s own words.
Completion of graduation project in the form of a report / essay is an essential requirement for obtaining the degree of D.Pharm.
in this presentation i have tried to briefly discuss about diuretics (water pills), their classification, mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of these drugs

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
These simplified slides by Dr. Sidra Arshad present an overview of the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract.
Learning objectives:
1. Enlist the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract
2. Briefly explain how these functions are carried out
3. Discuss the significance of dead space
4. Differentiate between minute ventilation and alveolar ventilation
5. Describe the cough and sneeze reflexes

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
4. INTRODUCTION
Diuresis means the production of urine.
Diuretics are substances whose administration
increases urine production.
Practical definition of a diuretic is a drug which
increases the renal excretion of salt and water.
Diuretics are commonly known as “Water Pills”
5. GENERAL USES OF DIURETICS
Diuretics are used to treat diseases which are
associated with increase of Extracellular Fluid
Volume, such as
Hypertension
Edema
Congestive Heart Failure
HOW
Diuretics increases Urinary Output thus
lower/decreases the extracellular fluid volume.
7. SEVEN TYPES
1. Osmotic diuretics.
2. Diuretics which inhibit active reabsorption of
electrolytes.
3. Diuretics which inhibit action of aldosterone.
4. Diuretics which inhibit activity of carbonic
anhydrase.
5. Diuretics which increase glomerular filtration
rate.
6. Diuretics which inhibit secretion of ADH.
7. Diuretics which inhibit ADH receptors.
8. OSMOTIC DIURETICS
Osmotic diuretics are the substances that induce
osmotic which occurs because of increased osmotic
pressure.
Consider the Osmotically active substances that
are not reabsorbed from renal tubules. When
injected in large quantities into the body, these
substances increase the osmotic pressure in the
tubular fluid in turn reduces water reabsorption.
Results into excretion of excess of water through urine.
Examples; Urea, Mannitol, Sucrose and Glucose.
9. DIURETICS WHICH INHIBITS ACTIVE
REABSORPTION OF ELECTROLYTE
RELY ON POSITION/PART OF NEPHRON
LOOP DIURETICS – They act on the thick ascending loop of
Henle. They inhibit Sodium and Chloride reabsorption.
Examples; Furosemide and Torasemide.
PROXIMAL PART OF DCT – They inhibit Sodium reabsorption and
usually called “Thiazide” Example is Metolazone
DISTAL PART OF DCT AND COLLECTING DUCT – They inhibit
reabsorption of Sodium and excretion of Potassium. They are
also referred to as the potassium-retaining diuretics or
potassium sparing diuretics.
10. DIURETICS WHICH INHIBITS ACTION OF
ALDOSTERONE.
Some diuretics inhibit sodium reabsorption and potassium
excretion in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting
duct, by inhibiting the action of aldosterone.
These substances are also called the potassium retaining
diuretics or aldosterone antagonists.
Examples
i. Spironolactone
ii. Eperenone.
11. DIURETICS WHICH INHIBITS ACTIVITY OF
CARBONIC ANHYDRASE
Some diuretics inhibit the activity of carbonic
anhydrase in proximal convoluted tubules and
prevent reabsorption of bicarbonates from renal
tubules, resulting in osmotic diuresis. Such diuretic
agents are called carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
Acetazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.
12. DIURETICS WHICH INCREASES
GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE
Some Xanthines (alkaloids, used as
mild stimulants) cause diuresis by
increasing the glomerular filtration
rate and to some extent by
decreasing the sodium reabsorption.
13. DIURETICS WHICH INHIBITS SECRETION
OF ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE (ADH)
Some diuretics produce diuresis by
inhibiting the secretion of ADH.
Examples
i. Water
ii. Ethanol.
14. DIURETICS WHICH INHIBITS SECRETION
OF ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE RECEPTORS
The antagonists of V2 receptors
cause diuresis by inhibiting the
receptors of antidiuretic
hormone, thereby preventing the
activity of this hormone.
15. ABUSES OF DIURETICS
Nowadays, diuretics are misused in order to reduce
the body weight and keep the body slim. Even
persons suffering from eating disorders attempt to
reduce body weight by misusing the diuretics.
Prolonged use of these substances leads to
complications like syndrome of diuretic-dependent
sodium retention, characterized by Edema. The
adverse
effects depend upon the type of diuretic agents
used.
