16
Q

Thiazolidinediones - TZD (Glitazones) AE

A

fluid retention -> peripheral edema, weight gain
increase HDL, LDL cholesterol and TG

BBW: increase risk of CHF and potential increase risk for heart attacks

17
Q

Insulin Sensitizers

A

MOA: decrease insulin resistance -> increase muscle and adipose tissues sensitivity to insulin -> increase glucose uptake by muscle and adipocytes -> decrease blood glucose

18
Q

Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors (AGI) (2)

A

Acarbose [Precose] *
Miglitol [Glyset]

19
Q

Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors

A

MOA: retard degredation of polysaccharides into monosaccharides

delay intestinal carbohydrates absoprtion -> decrease rise of nlood glucose levels after meal

20
Q

Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors AE

A

GI effects: flatulence, diarrhea or abdominal discomfort

21
Q

Glp-1 and incretin enhancers

A

MOA: inhibitors of DDP-4 prevent the degredation of incretin hormones and Glp-1 -> increase the action of Glp-1 -> enhance the fxn of Glp-1

22
Q

Glp-1 and incretin enhancers

A

Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DDP-4) inhibitors
Gliptin Drugs
- Sitagliptin [Januvia] *
- Saxagliptin [Onglyza]
- Linagliptin [Tradjenta]

23
Q

Sodium glucose co-transporter inhibitor

A

SGLT2 inhibitors
Gliflozin Drug
- Canagliflozin [Invokana] *
- Empagliflozin [Jardiance]
- Dapagliflozin [Farxiga]

24
Q

Sodium glucose co-transporter inhibitor

A

MOA: SGLT2 inhibitor prevent the renal reabsorption o fglucose and increas eurinary excretion of glucose

25
Q

SGLT2 inhibitors AE

A

hypoglycemia
female genital mycotic infections, UTI’s, and increase urination
ketoacidosis
AKI

26
Q

Incretin mimetic- Glp-1 agonists (Glp1-RA) (2)

A

Exenatide [Byetta] [Byduron = extended release] *
Liraglutide [Victoza]

Route: subq

27
Q

Incretin mimetic- Glp-1 agonists (Glp1-RA)

A

MOA: synthetic analogues of Glp-1 (glucagon like peptide-1) a peptide hormone in the incretin family -> decrease postprandial levels of glucose

28
Q

Incretin mimetic- Glp-1 agonists (Glp1-RA) AE

A

GI- N/V, diarrhea
hypoglycemia
weight loss

BBW: thyroid cancer seen in rats

29
Q

Synthetic Analogue of amylin

A

MOA: act like amylin which is a neuroendocrine peptide produced by the pancreatic beta cells and released with insulin to assist postprandial glucose control -> slow down gastric emptying, decrease glucagon secretion and increase satiety -> decrease postprandial levels of glucose

30
Q

Synthetic Analogue of amylin (1)

A

Pramlintide [Symlin]

Route : subq

31
Q

Synthetic Analogue of amylin AE

A

hypoglycemia

BBW: co-administration with insulin may induce severe hypoglycemia (usually within 3 hrs following administration)

32
Q

Glp1-RA- Semaglutide MOA

A

MOA: synthetic analogues of GLP-1 (glucagon like peptide-1), a peptide hormone in the incretin family -> decrease postpandial levels of glucose -> suppress appetite, decrease calorie intake -> weight loss

33
Q

Glp1-RA- Semaglutide Indications

A

Type 2 DM
Obesity
disorder of CV system
prophylaxis DM and obesity

Route: Subq [Ozempic], oral [Rybelsus] *

34
Q

Glp1-RA- Semaglutide AE

A

GI- N/V, diarrhea
hypoglycemia
weight loss
