Diabetes 3 Flashcards
What drugs are part of the biguanides class
glucophage, Riomet, glucophage XL, Glumetza (metformin)
what is the MOA for biguanides
inhibits hepatic glucose production and increases insulin sensitivity to peripheral tissue
How much will biguanides lowers your A1C?
1.5-2%
what are side effects of biguanides
GI (diarrhea) take with meals
lactic acidosis
Vitamin B12 def
WEIGHT LOSS
when is biguanides contraindicated
women with Cr>or= 1.4
men Cr>or=1.5
must be put on hold before or after a CAT- scan dye
What drug are sulfonylureas
glimepiride
glipizide
glyburide
Typically dosed 1-2 x a day
What is the MOA of sulfonylureas
increase insulin production from beta cells in panreas
what is a problem with the sulfonyl ureas in regards to their time of use
after 3-5 years there is a reduction in the benefit due to loss of beta cell function
how much will sulfonylureas lowers your A1C
1-2%
which sulfonylurea should you use if you have renal issues
glipizide
what are the side effects with sulfonylreas
hypoglycemia
weight gain
cant be used with people who have sulfa allergy
what drugs are part of the meglitinides?
nateglinide
repaglinide
what is the MOA of meglitinides?
increase insulin production from beta cell in pancreas
bind to different receptors than sulfonylureas
what is the problem with meglitindes and their length of use?
after 3-5 years there is a reduction in benefit due to loss of beta cell function
how much will meglitinides reduce your A1C?
0.5-2%
what are the side effects of meglitinides
less hypoglycemia than sulfonylureas
less weight gain than sulfonylureas
what is the major drawback with meglitinides
they are more costly than sulfonyl ureas
what drugs are part of the TZD drug class
rosiglitizone
pioglitizone
takes up to 8 weeks to act
what is the MOA of TZDs
PPAR agonist
increase insulin-dependent glucose disposal and decrease hepatic glucose output by decreasing insulin resistance in periphery and liver
how much will TZDs reduce your A1C
0.5-1%
what are the side effects with TZDs
weight gain
Edema
Increased ovulation
Hepatic dysfuntion
what is a major side effect with rosiglitizone (avandia)
increase likelihood of MI and negative lipid effects
