17
Q

(Dipeptidylpeptidase-4 inhibitors)

A 
Incretins (e.g. GLP-1 and glucose-dependant insulinotropic peptide) released in response to food. Incretins promote insulin secretion and are deactivated by dipeptidylpeptidase-4. DDP-4 inhibitors reduced incretin degradation. Action of incretin is glucose-dependaent, less chance of hypoglycemia compared to sulphonylureas
✖Hypersensitivity 
✖Type 1 diabetes 
✖Ketoacidosis 
✖Pregnancy or breastfeeding
18
Q

Sitagliptin

A

(Dipeptidylpeptidase-4 inhibitors)

Type 2 diabetes

19
Q

Lingagliptin

A

(Dipeptidylpeptidase-4 inhibitors)

Type 2 diabetes

20
Q

Saxagliptin

A

(Dipeptidylpeptidase-4 inhibitors)

Type 2 diabetes

21
Q

(Glucose, dextrose)

A

5% solution is a mean of providing water. Glucose serum initially isotonic. Rapid glucose uptake by cells leads to hypotonic water that distributes across body. Also used in hypoglycemia. In hyperkalaemia, insulin and glucose used together. Insulin stimulates Na+/K+ ATPase to shift K+ into cells. Glucose prevent hypoglycaemia during this process

22
Q

Glucose 5%

A

(Glucose, dextrose)
Provide water when oral not possible
Reconstitution or dilution of frugs

23
Q

Glucose 10%

A

(Glucose, dextrose)
Treat hypoglycemia
+ insulin to treat hyperkalaemia

24
Q

Glucose 20%

A

(Glucose, dextrose)
Treat hypoglycemia
+ insulin to treat hyperkalaemia

25
Q

Glucose 50%

A

(Glucose, dextrose)
Treat hypoglycemia
+ insulin to treat hyperkalaemia

26
Q

(Insulin)

A

Stimulates glucose uptake into cells + glycogen, lipid and protein synthesis + inhibits gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis.
Also drives K+ into cells in the short term for hyperkalcemic patients

27
Q

Insulin aspart

A

(Rapid-acting insulin)

Type 1 and 2 diabetes
Diabetic emergencies (e.g. diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar syndrome, perioperative glycaemic control
+ glucose to treat hyperkalemia

28
Q

Soluble insulin

A

(Short acting insulin)
Type 1 and 2 diabetes
Diabetic emergencies (e.g. diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar syndrome, perioperative glycaemic control
+ glucose to treat hyperkalemia

29
Q

Isophane

A

(Intermediate acting insulin)
Type 1 and 2 diabetes
Diabetic emergencies (e.g. diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar syndrome, perioperative glycaemic control
+ glucose to treat hyperkalemia

30
Q

Insulin glargine

A

(Long-acting insulin)
Type 1 and 2 diabetes
Diabetic emergencies (e.g. diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar syndrome, perioperative glycaemic control
+ glucose to treat hyperkalemia

31
Q

30% insulin aspart + 70% insulin aspart protamine

A

(Biphasic insulin)
Type 1 and 2 diabetes
Diabetic emergencies (e.g. diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar syndrome, perioperative glycaemic control
+ glucose to treat hyperkalemia

32
Q

(Metformin)

A

Lowers glucose by reducing hepatic glucose output (glucogenolysis + gluconeogenesis). Increases glucose uptake. In cells it activates AMP kinase (cellular metabolic sensor involved in several metabolic processes)
Type 2 diabetes
✖Acute kidney injury
✖Severe tissue hypoxia

33
Q

(Oestrogen and progestogens)

A

Oestrogen and progestogen exert negative feedback effect on LH and FSH release. Fall in oestrogen and progestogen occur during menopause. Exogenous forms used in supplementation
✖Breast cancer
✖VTE

34
Q

Combined ethinylestradiol products

A

(Oestrogen and progestogens)
Reversible hormonal contraception
Hormone replacement therapy

35
Q

(Sulphonylureas)

A

Lower blood glucose by stimulating pancreatic insulin secretion. Blocks ATP-dependant K+ channels in beta cells, causes depolarisation eading to opening of Ca2+ channels. Increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration stimulate insulin secretion.

36
Q

Gliclazide

A

(Sulphonylureas)

Type 2 diabetes

37
Q

(Thyroid hormones)

A

Thyroid produces T4. T3 is converted to more active T4 in target tissues. Thyroid hormone important for growth and metabolism. Levothyroxine (T4) used for long term replacement. Liothyroxine (T3) has shorter half life and quicker onset, used in emergency or acute hypothyroidism

38
Q

Levothyroxine

A

(Thyroid hormones)
Primary hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism secondary to hypopituitarism

39
Q

Liothyronine

A

(Thyroid hormones)
Primary hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism secondary to hypopituitarism
