商品名：Daranide
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. Diuretic. Dichlorphenamide, like other carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, produces a diuresis by inhibiting the reabsorption of bicarbonate in proximal renal tubules via enzyme inhibition. This action results in loss of bicarbonate in the urine and a diuresis. The action of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors results in significant urine loss of bicarbonate, alkaline urine, and water loss.
Dichlorphenamide is rarely used as a diuretic any longer. There are more potent and effective diuretic drugs available such as the loop diuretics (furosemide). Dichlorphenamide, like other carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, is used primarily to reduce intraocular pressure in animals with glaucoma. Methazolamide is used more often than dichlorphenamide or acetazolamide for this purpose, and other treatment regimens are used more often than carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Dichlorphenamide, like other carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, is sometimes used to produce a more alkaline urine for management of some urinary calculi.
