ILE I U2 PO Flashcards
glipizide, glyburide and glimepiride are what types of drugs? Which generations are these?
Sulfonylureas, 2nd and 3rd gen
Sulfonylurea MoA on pancreas
Inhibit efflux of K from beta cells through SUR receptor, which causes Ca channels to open, releasing Ca, which binds to calmodulin, and releases granules containing insulin
Name of the K-ATP channel in beta cells
Kir6.2
Glipizide in excretion
85% renal - patients MUST have renal function!
Glyburide in excretion
50:50 renal:fecal
When should you use a sulfonylurea?
Patients >40, duration of disease <5 years, no prior treatment with insulin
Combination sulfonylurea therapy
Okay with other anti diabetics, but cannot be used with meglitinides
Rosiglitazone/Glimepiride brand
Avandaryl
Pioglitazone/Glimepiride brand
Duetact
Glyburide/Metformin brand
Glucovance
Glipizide/Metformin brand
Metaglip
Sulfonylurea ADRs
- Weight GAIN
2. Hypoglycemia
Sulfonylurea considerations
- Cannot use with meglitinides
- Cannot use with gestational diabetes
- Cannot use with renal failure patients
Glipizide brand
Glucotrol
Glyburide brand
Glycron, Diabeta
Sulfonylurea advantages over other drugs
Extensive experience, decreases microvascular risk
Beta blockers and sulfonylureas
these drugs block the counter-regulatory response that prevents a dangerous hypo or–if it cannot prevent the hypo–at least gives the victim some warning that one is coming by causing shakes and pounding pulse.
Repaglinide and nateglinide are what kinds of drugs?
Meglitinides
Repaglinide brand
Prandin
Nateglinide brand
Starlix
Meglitinide MoA
Similar to sulfonylurea MoA, but different site. Block ATP-K channels, Ca influx induces insulin secretion.
Stimulate pancreatic insulin secretion: decrease glucose rise after a meal, however insulin is glucose dependent and thus diminishes at low blood glucose concentrations.
Meglitinide MoA is dependent on
functional pancreatic islet cells
Meglitinide vs suflonylurea: which has a faster “on/off” effect, and is more tissue selective?
Meglitinides. Therefore, these are less effective at a lower state of hypoglycemia
Meglitinide ADRs
- hypoglycemia (less than 8% A1C), less than SU due to glucose sensitive release of insulin
- slight weight GAIN
- Headache.
- GI disturbances.
Meglitinide excretion
- Renal
2. Bile
When to use meglitinides
patients that have postpranadial hyperglycemia and are close to glycemic goals.
Meglitinide combination therapies:
- Effective with metformin
- Can be used with other drugs
- Can NOT be used with SUs
Replaglinide/Metformin brand
PrandiMet
Additional meglitinide considerations
- Must be taken 30 min before meal
- Causes hypoglycemia in patients less than 8% A1C
- More flexible dosing and less weight gain than SU
Repaglinide and erythromycin
Causes increased serum concentrations
Drugs that ____ decrease effect of repaglinide
induce the CYP 3A4 (i.e. rifampin, phenytoin, barbiturates, carbamazepine)
Rosiglitazone and pioglitazone are what type of drugs?
TZDs (Thiazolidinediones)
Rosiglitazone brand
Avandia
Pioglitazone brand
Actos
