Pharm II | Hormones; Osteo; DM Flashcards
“-sone”
adrenal gland hypofunction med
prednisone; hydrocortisone; fludrocortisone
mifepristone; mitotane
adrenal gland hyperfunction
reduces level of circulating hormones
propylthiouracil (PTU)
methimazole
antithyroid drug
blocks the synthesis of thyroid hormones
levothyroxine
liothyronine sodium
thyroid replacement hormone
for hypothyroidism; myxedema coma
“-tide”
incretin mimetics
dulaglutide; albiglutide; exenatide
works with insulin to prevent blood glucose levels from becoming too high after meals by increase insulin secretion, decreasing glucagon, slowing the rate of gastric emptying
incretin mimetics
“-gliptin”
DPP-4 inhibitors
non-insulin antidiabetic drugs that help prevent hyperglycemia by reducing the amount of the enzyme
DPP-4 inhibitors
conjugated estrogens
medroxyprogesterone
menopause relief
microgynon; rigevidon; cilest; yasmin; nuvaring; ortho evra; mirena
hormonal contraception drugs
synthetic estrogen and progestin stops ovulation and cervical mucus thickens, making fertilization difficult
ethinyl estradiol
hormonal contraception drugs
androgel
replacement therapy for testosterone deficiency
alendronate; risedronate; zoledronic acid
bisphosphonates
for osteoporosis
reabsorbs calcium into bone by drawing out of blood
bisphosphonates
for osteoporosis
estrogen/bazedoxifene; raloxifene
estrogen agonist/antagonists
drug for osteoporosis
promotes calcium retention in bone and blocks estrogen receptors
estrogen agonist/antagonist
prevents osteoclasts from maturing and reducing bone density
osteoclast monoclonal antibodies
denosumab
denosumab
osteoclast monoclonal antibodies
glimepiride; glipizide; glyburide
non-insulin antidiabetic drug
stimulates release of insulin stored in the beta cells of the pancreas
non-insulin antidiabetic drug
nateglinide; repaglinide
meglitinide analogs
increase intracellular potassium; causing depolarization;
increases insulin secretion in the pancreas
meglitinide analogs
“-glinide”
meglitinide analog
reduces amount of glucose the liver releases and reducing how much and how fast intestines absorb the glucose in food
biguanides
antidiabetic
metformin
biguanide
antidiabetic
lowers blood glucose levels by making insulin receptors more sensitive to insulin
insulin sensitizers
thiazolidinedione
“-glitazone”
thiazolidinedione
insulin sensitizers
pioglitazone; rosiglitazone
miglitol; acarbose
alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
prevents enzymes in intestines from breaking down starches and more complex sugars into glucose; slows glucose absorption
alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
