Q

Metformin

A

Biguanide (oral)

lowers glucose production in liver and increases body’s sensitivity to insulin

avoid in patients with poor liver function

Q

Gliclazide

A

Sulfonylureas

helps body secrete insulin by binding to receptors in beta cells

preferred medication for not overweight patients bc it causes weight gain

AE: hypoglycemia (more risk with irregular meals and ETOH)
- skin reaction, cardiac effects

19
Q

Nateglinide

A

Meglitinides

stimulate pancreas to release insulin faster - good for irregular meals

take 10-15 mins before meal

20
Q

Repaglinide

A

Meglitinides

stimulate pancreas to release insulin faster

good option for patient with irregular meals
- DO NOT TAKE WITH sulfonyureas

21
Q

Pioglitazone

A

Agonist at PPA Receptor Gamma

decreases TG and increases HDL to improve whole body insulin sensitivity

  • releases insulin sensitive genes
  • monotherapy

AE: Weight gain, increased risk of heart disease, fluid retention
- worse if combined with insulin

22
Q

Rosiglitazone

A

Agonist at Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma

increases HDL, TG, and LDL to improve whole body insulin sensitivity

  • releases insulin sensitive genes
  • monotherapy

AE: Weight gain, increased risk of heart disease, fluid retention
- worse if combined with insulin

23
Q

Acarbose + Miglitol

A

alpha-glucosidase inhibitors to minimize intestinal digestion and carb absorption

AE: avoid in kidney/liver disease and GI issues

24
Q

-GLIPTIN

A

DPP-4 inhibitors to increase insulin secretion and decrease glucagon production

AE: HA and nasopharyngitis

25
Q

-FOZIN

A

sodium-glucose transporter inhibitor to prevent kidneys from absorbing sugar into blood, glucose excreted into urine

AE: UTI or yeast infection, increased urine, hypotension

canaglifozin: may increase risk of lower leg amputation
