Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aldactone (spirinolactone), Dyrenium (triamterene), and Midamor (amiloride) are classified as potassium-sparing diuretics because they reduce sodium reabsorption in the collecting ducts of the kidneys without causing potassium loss. Lasix (furosemide), Diuril (chlorothiazide), and Microzide (hydrochlorothiazide) are classified as loop diuretics and thiazide diuretics, respectively, and do not spare potassium.
