Blood thinners and Cholesterol and diabetes medications Flashcards
What are anticoagulants/Blood thinners?
used for the treatment of blood clots and block the bodies ability to clot the blood. it does not actually thin the blood
Warfarin
Coumadin: Vitamin K antagonist anticoagulants block vitamin k which is needed to form blood clots. needed blood tests
Apixaban
Eliquis: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAs) no needed blood tests, Direct factor Xa inhibitors
Rivaroxaban
Xerelto: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAs) no needed blood tests, Direct factor Xa inhibitors
Aspirin
Ecotrin: Antiplatelets(platelet aggregation inhibitors) work by preventing platelet from sticking together.
Clopidogrel
plavix: Antiplatelets(platelet aggregation inhibitors) work by preventing platelet from sticking together.
Atorvastatin
Lipitor: HMG CoA Reductase inhibitors (Statins) used to reduce the amount of cholesterol made by the liver
Simvastatin
Zocor: HMG CoA Reductase inhibitors (Statins) used to reduce the amount of cholesterol made by the liver
Rosuvastatin
Crestor: HMG CoA Reductase inhibitors (Statins) used to reduce the amount of cholesterol made by the liver
Pravastin
Pravachol: HMG CoA Reductase inhibitors (Statins) used to reduce the amount of cholesterol made by the liver

Mevachor/ Altoprev: HMG CoA Reductase inhibitors (Statins) used to reduce the amount of cholesterol made by the liver
Fenofibrate
Tricor: Other Cholesterol medications indicated to reduce Cholesterol and triglyceride levels
Omega 3 acid ethyl esters
Lovaza: Other Cholesterol medications indicated to reduce Cholesterol and triglyceride levels
Ezetemibe
Zetia: inhibit absorbtion of dietary cholesterol
Glipizide
Glucotrol: Sulfonylureas indicated to increase insulin release from beta cells of the pancreas.
Glimetipiride
amaryl: Sulfonylureas indicated to increase insulin release from beta cells of the pancreas.
Metformin
Glucophage: Biguanides reduce the amount of sugar produced by the liver, the amount of sugar absorbed by the intestines, and increase insulin sensitivity.
Linagliptin
Tradjenta: Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors(DPP_4 inhibitors) indicated to slow the inactivation/degredation of GLP-1, an incretive hormone which trigger insulin release to lower blood sugar
sitagliptin
Januvia: Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors(DPP_4 inhibitors) indicated to slow the inactivation/degredation of GLP-1, an incretive hormone which trigger insulin release to lower blood sugar
metformin/sitagliptin
Janumet: Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors(DPP_4 inhibitors) indicated to slow the inactivation/degredation of GLP-1, an incretive hormone which trigger insulin release to lower blood sugar
Pioglitazone
Actose: TZDs(Thiazoladinediones) indicated to increase sensitivity of cells to insulin
Canigliflozin
Invokana: SGLT-2 inhibitors(Sodium-Glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors causes more glucose to be excreted into the urine instead of to the body
Liraglutide
Victoza: GLP-1 Analogs( Glucagon-like peptide 1 agonists) injectibles also known as incretin mimetics that mimic incretin hormone GLP-1 prouded in the GI tract after a meal, causing increased release of insulin from the pancreas, Generic “Glutide/ atide”
Dulaglutide
Trulicity: GLP-1 Analogs( Glucagon-like peptide 1 agonists) injectibles also known as incretin mimetics that mimic incretin hormone GLP-1 prouded in the GI tract after a meal, causing increased release of insulin from the pancreas, Generic “Glutide/ atide”

What are DPP 4 inhibitors
indicated to slow the inactivation/degredation of GLP-1, an incretive hormone which trigger insulin release to lower blood sugar “generic Gliptin
What are statins
Indicated for reduction of cholesterol made by the Liver
What are Glucagon-like peptide 1 agonists) injectibles also known as incretin mimetics that mimic incretin hormone GLP-1 prouded in the GI tract after a meal, causing increased release of insulin from the pancreas, Generic “Glutide/ atide”
