Question

which drug is an effective agent to use in conjunction with potassium - sparing diuretics?
amiloride
triamterene
spironolactone
benzothiadiazides

Explanation:

Potassium - sparing diuretics like amiloride, triamterene, and spironolactone are often used to retain potassium while promoting diuresis. Benzothiadiazides (thiazide diuretics) are often used in conjunction with potassium - sparing diuretics as thiazides can cause potassium loss and potassium - sparing diuretics can counteract that. The other options are also potassium - sparing diuretics and not typically used in combination with themselves for this purpose.

Answer:

D. Benzothiadiazides
