Drugs in this class include:

#Diuretics: These decrease blood volume by increasing sodium loss from the kidneys. They include '''loop diuretics''', that act on the renal Loop of Henle such as Frusemide, and '''thiazide diuretics''' that act on the renal Distal Convoluted Tubule, such as Chlorothiazide or Hydrochlorothiazide. '''Potassium sparing diuretics''' act on the renal Collecting Duct and include Spironolactone and Amiloride.

#Venodilation: Dilation of veins causes decreased venous pressures, blood redistribution, and increased capacitance. Venodilators include Glyceryl trinitrate and a group of drugs classified as 'balanced vasodilators', which includes ACE inhibitors (enalapril (dogs & cats), benazepril (cats), alpha-antagonists and Nitroprusside.
