Term
Glipizide, glyburide and glimepiride are what type of drugs? What is the MOA? How do tolazamide, tolbutamide and chlorpropamide differ from them?
Definition
Sulfonylureas, close K channels in beta cells, increase insulin release. They are older sulfonylureas, lower potency and greater toxicity
Term
Sulfonylureas: Toxicity?
Definition
hypoglycemia, weight gain
Term
What are repaglinide and nateglinide? What is the MOA? Onset and duration? Toxicity?
Definition
glitinides, insulin secretagogues, similar to sulfonylureas with some overlap in binding sites. Very fast onset, nate has short duration. Hypoglycemia
Term
What type of drug is metformin? How does it work? Toxicity? Who can't use it?
Definition
Biguanide, reduced hepatic and renal gluconeogenesis, GI symptoms, lactic acidosis. Can't use with impaired renal/hepatic fxn, CHF, alcoholism, hypoxic or acidotic states
Term
What are acarbose and miglitol? Onset? Toxicity? Who can't use it?
Definition
alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, rapid onset, GI symptoms. Can't use with impaired renal/hepatic fxn, GI disorders.
Term
What are rosiglitazone and pioglitazine? How do they work? Duration of action? Toxicity? Who can't use it?
Definition
thiazolidinediones, regulate gene exp by binding PPAR-y (and -a for pioglitazine) and thereby reduce insulin resistance. Long acting. Fluid retention, edema, anemia, weight gain, macular edema, bone fx in women. Can't use with CHF, hepatic disease
Term
What is exenatide? How does it work? What are the effects? Toxicity?
Definition
incretin-based drug, analog of GLP-1. reduce post-meal glucose rise, increase glucose-mediated insulin release, lower glucagon levels, slow gastric emptying, decrease appetite. Nausea, HA, vomiting, anorexia, weight loss, pancreatitis
Term
What is sitaglipin? How does it work? What are the effects? How does it differ from the other member of this drug class? Toxicity?
Definition
Incretin-based drug, inhibits DPP-4 and degradation of GLP-1. reduce post-meal glucose rise, increase glucose-mediated insulin release, lower glucagon levels, slow gastric emptying, decrease appetite. longer DOA (24 hr) and tox- rhinitis, URI, allergic rxns rare
Term
What is pramlintide? What are the effects? Onset? Toxicity?
Definition
amylin analogue. Reduces post-meal glucose rise, lowers glucagon levels, slows gastric emptying, decreases appetite. Rapid onset. Nausea, anorexia, hypoglycemia, HA
