Buzzwords 3 Flashcards
What are three indications of IV regular insulin?
- DKA
- Hyperkalemia (with glucose)
- Stress hyperglycemia
List the 4 categories of insulin, tie to peak, and their names.
- Rapid (1 hour) - Lispro, Aspart, Glulisine (LAG)
- Short (2-3 hours) - regular insulin
- Intermediate (4-10 hours) - NPH
- Long (no peak) - detemir, glargine
Name the 2 categories of non-insulin injectables and the drugs in each category.
- Amylin analogs (Pramlintide)
2. GLP-1 analogs (Exenatide, Liraglutide)
MOA of Pramlintide?
Decrease glucagon release, decrease gastric emptying, increase satiety
MOA of Exenatide and Liraglutide?
Decrease glucagon release, decrease gastric emptying, increase satiety, increase glucose-dependent insulin release
Drugs used to treat diabetes that may lead to weight LOSS
- GLP-1 analogs
- Metformin
- SGLT-2 inhibitors
Diabetes drug - AE - lactic acidosis
Metformin
Diabetes drug - AE - B12 deficiency
Metformin
MOA - metformin
Inhibit hepatic gluconeogenesis and the action of glucagon via inhibition of mGPD
Increase glycolysis, peripheral glucose uptake
Diabetes drugs that increase insulin sensitivity
- Metformin
2. Glitazones
Compare the MOA of sulfonylureas and meglitinides.
Both close the K+ channel in the beta cell membrane -> cell depolarization -> increased calcium influx -> insulin release
Binding sites differ
Drugs used to treat diabetes that may lead to weight GAIN.
- Sulfonylureas
- Meglitinides
- Glitazones
Name the first generation sulfonylureas.
Chlorpropamide
Tolbutamide
Name the second generation sulfonylureas.
Glimepiride, Glipizide, Glyburide
Diabetes drug - AE - disulfiram-like effects
1st generation sulfonylureas (Chlorpropamide, tolbutamide)
List the 2 meglitinides.
Nateglinide
Repaglinide
MOA - DDP-4 inhibitors?
Inhibit DDP-4 enzyme, which deactivates GLP-1
List the common suffix of DDP-4 inhibitors.
–agliptin
MOA - glitazones
Bind to PPAR-gamma nuclear transcription regulator -> increase insulin sensitivity and levels of adiponectin
Diabetes drug - AE - edema and Heart Failure
Glitazones (also increased risk of fractures)
Which diabetes drug has a delayed onset of action (several weeks)?
Glitazones
Common suffix for SGLT2 inhibitors
–Agliflozin
Diabetes drug - AE - vaginal yeast infections and UTIs
SGLT2 inhibitors
List the 2 alpha-glucosidase inhibitors.
Acarbose, miglitol
inhibit intestinal brush border enzyme, delay glucose absorption
List the 2 thioamides.
Propylthiouracil and methimazole
MOA - block TPO, which inhibits oxidation of iodide and organification of iodine -> inhibition of TH synthesis
Thioamides (propylthiouracil and methimazole); PTU also inhibits 5’deiodinase -> decreased peripheral conversion of T4 to T3
Discuss how to safely treat hyperthyroidism in pregnancy.
1st trimester - PTU (methimazole is teratogenic)
2nd and 3rd trimesters - Methimazole (risk of PTU-induced hepatoxicity)
Rx - hypothyroidism and myxedema
Levothyroxine (T4) and liothyronine (T3)
Rx - SIADH
- ADH antagonists at the V2 receptor -> conivaptan and tolvaptan
- Demeclocyline (ADH antagonist in the tetracycline family)
Desmopressin indications
Central DI (not nephrogenic)
VW disease
Sleep eneuresis
Hemophilia A
MOA - cinacalcet
Sensitizes the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) in the parathyroid gland to circulating calcium -> decreased PTH
MOA - sevelamer
Prevents phosphate absorption in the GI tract by binding phosphate (non-absorbable)
MOA - activates antithrombin -> decreases action of 2a (thrombin) and 10a
Heparin
