All of the following drugs are useful in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus except

A
Amiloride
B
Indomethacin
C
Chlorpropamide
D
Thiazide diuretics
High-Yield Explanation
The polyuria and polydipsia of nephrogenic DI are not affected by treatment with standard doses of DDAVP. Treatment with conventional doses of a thiazide diuretic and/or amiloride in conjunction with a low-sodium diet and a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor (e.g., indomethacin) usually reduces the polyuria and polydipsia by 30-70% and may eliminate them completely in some patients. ref : Harrisons 20th ed 2279.
