71
Q

PHARMACOKINETICS
→ well-absorbed
→ NOT METABOLIZE
→ excreted through urine

A

72
Q

MODE OF ACTION
→ reduction of hepatic glucose output by inhibiting hepatic gluconeogenesis
→ slows intestinal absorption of sugars & improves peripheral glucose uptake & utilization

A

Biguanides

73
Q

MODE OF ACTION
→ act by delaying the digestion of CHO, resulting in low postprandial glucose levels
→ exert their effects by reversely inhibiting membrane-bound alpha-glucosidase in intestinal brush border
