Q

Capoten

A

Captopril, ACEI, Prevents conversion of angiotensin I to Angiotensin II (potent vasoconstrictor) by competitive inhibition of ACE. Results in lower BP secondary to lower levels of angiotensin II, increased levels of plasma renin activity, and a reduction in aldosterone secretion.

Cozaar

A

Losartan, ARB, Selective, competitive angiotensin II receptor type 1 receptor antagonist, reducing the end-organ responses to angiotensin II. Results in a decrease in total peripheral resistance (afterload) and cardiac venous return (prelaod). Reduction in BP occurs independently of the status of the renin-angiotensin system.

Diabinese

A

Chlorpropamide, sulfonylurea, stimulates insulin secretion in beta cells (secretagogue) by binding to K+ channels causing depolarization, leads to Ca2+ influx increasing insulin release. Also decreases insulin resistance and hepatic glucose output.

83
Q

Glucotrol

A

Glipizide, sulfonylurea, stimulates insulin secretion in beta cells (secretagogue) by binding to K+ channels causing depolarization, leads to Ca2+ influx increasing insulin release. Also decreases insulin resistance and hepatic glucose output.

85
Q

Amaryl

A

86
Q

Glucophage

A

Metformin, biguanide, enhances insulin sensitivity of both hepatic and muscle tissues (possibly by activating AMPK), allows for an increased uptake of glucose into these insulin-sensitive tissues

87
Q

Actos

A

Pioglitazone, TZD, act on ppar gamma which results in glucose uptake (fat cells) and decreases hepatic glucose output and ultimately increases insulin sensitivity.

88
Q

Avandia

A

Rosiglitazone, TZD, act on ppar gamma which results in glucose uptake (fat cells) and decreases hepatic glucose output and ultimately increases insulin sensitivity

89
Q

Prandin

A

Repaglinide, meglitinide, stimulate the release of insulin from the beta pancreatic cells in the same manner that the sulfonlureas do (secretagogues), bind to/blocks K cannel > depolarization of cell > opens Ca channel > Ca influx causes release of insulin.

90
Q

Starlix

A

Nateglinide, meglitinide, stimulate the release of insulin from the beta pancreatic cells in the same manner that the sulfonlureas do (secretagogues), bind to/blocks K cannel > depolarization of cell > opens Ca channel > Ca influx causes release of insulin.

91
Q

Precose

A

Acarbose, alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, compeitively inhibits enzymes (maltase, isomaltase, sucrase, and glucoamylase) in the small intestine, delaying the breakdown of sucrose and complex carbohydrates, results in reduction of the postprandial blood glucose rise.

92
Q

Glyset

A

Miglitol, alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, compeitively inhibits enzymes (maltase, isomaltase, sucrase, and glucoamylase) in the small intestine, delaying the breakdown of sucrose and complex carbohydrates, results in reduction of the postprandial blood glucose rise.

93
Q

Symlin

A

Pramlintide, amylinomimetic, synthetic analog of amylin, a neurohormone co-secreted from the cells with insulin. it suppresses inappropraitely high postprandial glucagon secretion, increases satiety, which may result in weight loss, and slows gastric emptying so that the rate of glucose appearance into the plasma better matches the glucose disposition.

94
Q

Byetta

A

Exenatide, GLP-Analogue, enhances glucose dependent insulin secretion while suppressing inappropriately high postprandial glucagon secretion in the presence of elevated glucose concentrations, resulting in a reduction in hepatic glucose production.

95
Q

Victoza

A

Liraglutide, GLP-1 receptor agonist, enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion while suppressing inappropriately high glucagon secretion in the presence of elevated glucose concentrations, resulting in a reduction in hepatic glucose production.

96
Q

Januvia

A

Sitagliptin, DPP-4 inhibitor, prolong the half-life of endogenously produced GlP-1 and GIP (normally only minutes). As these agents block nearly 100% of the DPP-4 enzyme for at least 12 hours, normal physiologic, nondiabetic GLP-1 levels are achieved. Significantly reduces the inappropriately elevated glucagon postprandially, though not back to nondiabetic levels, and improve insulin response to a high glucose level. Insulin levels tend to be unchanged with DPP-4 inhibitors, but glucose levels are reduced.

97
Q

Onglyza

A

Saxagliptin, DPP-4 inhibitor, prolong the half-life of endogenously produced GlP-1 and GIP (normally only minutes). As these agents block nearly 100% of the DPP-4 enzyme for at least 12 hours, normal physiologic, nondiabetic GLP-1 levels are achieved. Significantly reduces the inappropriately elevated glucagon postprandially, though not back to nondiabetic levels, and improve insulin response to a high glucose level. Insulin levels tend to be unchanged with DPP-4 inhibitors, but glucose levels are reduced.
