Work
This medication is an antagonist that acts via binding of the receptors at the site of potassium exchange within distal renal tubules. It allows for excretion of excessive amounts of water and sodium. As a result of this action, of this medication has assumed the role of both an antihypertensive and diuretic. Hence, it reduces the blood pressure by inhibiting Na-K-2Cl reabsorption at ascending loop of Henle. This helps in increasing the excretion of water and sodium.
