Diazoxide is a potassium channel activator that enhances cell membrane permeability to potassium ions. By promoting a vasodilatory effect on the smooth muscle in peripheral arterioles, diazoxide lowers blood pressure and peripheral vascular resistance. Diazoxide-induced decreases in blood pressure lead to reflex increases in heart rate and cardiac output. The oral administration of diazoxide increases blood glucose in a dose-dependent manner. In patients with normal renal function, this effect is observed within an hour and lasts no more than eight hours. The hypotensive effects of diazoxide are usually not detected when administered orally. Diazoxide administered intravenously may lead to sodium and water retention, severe hypotension, transient myocardial or cerebral ischaemia and gastrointestinal upsets such as nausea, vomiting and abdominal discomfort. Diazoxide administered orally may cause ketoacidosis and nonketotic hyperosmolar coma, especially in patients with other concurrent conditions. The use of intravenous or oral diazoxide may lead to the development of pulmonary hypertension in infants and neonates.

Diazoxide is a nondiuretic benzothiadiazine derivative used for the management of symptomatic hypoglycemia. By binding to the sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) subunit of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel (K_ATP) on the membrane of pancreatic beta‐cells, diazoxide promotes a potassium efflux from beta-cells. This hyperpolarizes the cell membrane and prevents the influx of calcium to the pancreatic beta‐cells. Without a sufficient amount of calcium in the cell, insulin release is inhibited. Therefore, the use of diazoxide produces an increase in glucose levels. Diazoxide is chemically related to thiazide diuretics but does not inhibit carbonic anhydrase and does not have chloriuretic or natriuretic activity. It also exhibits hypotensive activity by reducing arteriolar smooth muscle and vascular resistance. The mechanism of action of its hypotensive effect has not been fully elucidated; however, it is possible that it involves the antagonism of calcium.
