PROPERTIES

• Application(s): Potassium-sparing diuretic
• Salt Data: HCl
• Mechanism of Action: Inhibitor of sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts in the kidneys by binding to the amiloride-sensitive sodium channels.
• Mechanism of Action: This promotes the loss of sodium and water from the body, but without depleting potassium.
• Mechanism of Action: Amiloride exerts its potassium sparing effect through the inhibition of sodium reabsorption at the distal convoluted tubule, cortical collecting tubule and collecting duct
• Mechanism of Action: this decreases the net negative potential of the tubular lumen and reduces both potassium and hydrogen secretion and their subsequent excretion.
• Mechanism of Action: Amiloride is not an aldosterone antagonist and its effects are seen even in the absence of aldosterone.
