What are the medication taken to dry up the fluid in the lungs?
U can use diuretics in acute pulmonary edema(fluid in the lungs).Diuretics include fursemide or bumatnide
What is the potential interaction between diuretics and creatine supplementation?
The potential interaction between diuretics and creatine supplementation is that diuretics may increase the risk of dehydration when taken with creatine, as both can cause the body to lose water. This can lead to electrolyte imbalances and other health issues. It is important to consult a healthcare provider before combining these two substances.
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. Thiazide diuretics are commonly used for treating high blood pressure, while loop diuretics are often used for reducing excess fluid in conditions like heart failure or kidney disease. Potassium-sparing diuretics help maintain potassium levels while promoting diuresis.

Why do athletes take diuretics?
Diuretics are a class of drugs/substances that cause the body to shed water through urination. They are normally used for people who have trouble with water retention or high blood pressure. Sports with weight restrictions, like wrestling or boxing, might see the use of diuretics as the shedding of water prior to a weigh in might allow the athlete to "make weight" while maximizing the amount of lean muscle mass they have. Athletes who are cheating by taking steroids or other performance enhancing drugs might take diuretics in an attempt to dilute the concentration of drugs in their urine and thus pass a drug test. Needless to say, diuretics should only be taken on the advice of a health care professional. Use can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances which are counterproductive to athletic performance, and in the long term kidney problems can result.
Can diuretics cause xerostomia?
Yes they do! Diuretics are an antihypertensive drug and they cause xerostomia, diuretics increase urine output not increase saliva production.
What are some types of Thiazide diuretics?
Thiazide diuretics include such commonly used diuretics as hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDIURIL, Esidrix), chlorothiazide (Diuril), and chlorthalidone (Hygroton)
What would be a reasonable mechanism for diuretics?
Loop diuretics work by restraining the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter. Thiazide diuretics restrain the sodium-chloride transporter. Carbonic anhydrase inhibiting diuretics work by restraining bicarbonate transport.
