Q

treatment
-non pharm and pharm

A

non pharm: increase activity, increase fluids, high-fiber diet

pharm:
1. bulk-forming agents like psyllium husk- used to PREVENT constipation; do NOT use if signs of fecal impaction or obstruction; plan time for defecation

  1. stool softeners- docusate sodium (Colace)
    -lowers surface tension, allows water to penetrate stool
    -for patients with hard stools/straining
  2. Osmotic laxatives- sorbitol, lactulose
  3. saline laxatives- magnesium hydroxide/milk of magnesia
    -draw water into intestinal lumen; treats acute constipation
  4. chloride channel activator- Lubiprostone
    -GI motility enhancer

  4. glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor
    agonists/incretin mimetic (exenatide, liraglutide): binds to GLP-1 receptor stimulated production/secretion of insulin
  5. alpha-glucosiddase inhibitors: delays absorption of carbs
  6. Meglitinides: repaglinide: stimulates insulin release from pancrease
  7. Thiazolidinedones: pioglitazone: improves insulin sensitivity, glucose uptake in muscles and adipose tissue
