A

Anorexia, N/V and diarrhea

17
Q

What are the contraindications for Biguanides?

A

Creatinine above 1.4, liver failure, excessive EtOH intake

18
Q

What is the MOA for sulfonylureas?

A

Stimulates pancreatic islet beta cell inuslin release

19
Q

What are the indications for sulfonylureas?

A

T2DM

Ex. Glyburide (dia beta), glipizide (glucatrol)

20
Q

What are the SE of sulfonylureas?

A

Hypoglycemia, weight gain, nausea

21
Q

What is the MOA for thiazolidinediones?

A

Sensitize peripheral tissues to insulin, PPAR-gamma, decrease hepatic glucose output

22
Q

What are the indications for thiazolidinediones?

A

T2DM

Ex. Rosiglitazone (Avandia), pioglitazone (actos)

23
Q

What are the SE for thiazolidinediones?

A

MI, angina, edema, macular edema, weight gain

24
Q

What is the MOA for GLP-1 receptor agonists?

A

Activates glucagon like peptide 1 receptor, increases insulin secretion, decreases glucagon secretion, delays gastric emptying

25
Q

What are the indications for GLP-1 receptor agonists?

A

T2DM

Ex. Dulaglutide (trulicity), Liraglutide (Victoza)

26
Q

What are the side effects for GLP-1 receptor agonists?

A

N/V/D, pancreatitis (1/1000)

27
Q

What is the MOA for DPP-4 inhibitors?

A

Inhibits the enzyme DPP-4 and prolongs action of GLP-1, increases insulin release, decreases glucagon levels

28
Q

What is the indication for DPP-4 inhibitors?

A

T2DM

Ex. Sitagliptin (Januvia), Linagliptin (Tradjenta)

29
Q

What are the SE for DPP-4 inhibitors?

A

URI, HA, diarrhea, abdominal pain, arthralgias

30
Q

What is the MOA for SGLT2 inhibitors?

A

Inhibits glucose reabsorption in proximal tubules in kidney, cause glucosuria, and thereby lowers glucose levels

31
Q

What are the indications for SGLT2 inhibitors?

A

T2DM

Ex. Dapaglifozin (farxiga) and empagliflozin (Jardiance)

32
Q

What are the SE for SGLT2 inhibitors?

A

Yeast infections, UTI, orthostatic hypotension, nausea, fatigue
