    Glossary Potassium-Sparing Diuretic

    medication that removes excess fluid while retaining potassium

    A Potassium-Sparing Diuretic is a type of medication that helps the body eliminate excess fluid without causing a significant loss of potassium, an essential mineral. Unlike other diuretics that can lead to potassium depletion, these drugs, such as spironolactone and triamterene, are often used to treat conditions like high blood pressure and heart failure while maintaining potassium levels.
