Proton pump inhibitors endings
pppppp
- Prazole
- omeprazole
Anti acid
H2 receptor blocker ending
- tidine
- cimetidine
Anti acid
DDP inhibitors
iced tea
stop the body from breaking down incretin ( incretin = produced more insulin )
so incretin levels increase = insulin increases
ends in -liptin
Sitagliptin
Sulfonyureas
mechanism of action
Sulfonylureas bind to and close ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels on the cell membrane of pancreatic beta cells, which depolarizes the cell by preventing potassium from exiting. This depolarization opens voltage-gated Ca2+ channels—>Insulin release
Gliclazide
Alpha blockers
- osin
Tamsulosin
