[PHARMA] ANTI-DIABETICS Flashcards
1st line therapy in T2DM
Metformin + lifestyle modifications
secretagogues
sulfonylureas
non-sulfonylureas
sensitizers
metformin
Tzds (Pioglitazone)
α-glucosidase inhibitor
acarbose
SGLT2 inhibitors
canagliflozin
DPP4 inhibitors
Sitagliptin
GLP1 agonists
Liraglutide
Sulfonylureas chronic use leads to
↓Glucagon
sulfonylureas mechanism of action
↑insulin secretion via
binds to β-cell receptors–> (-) ATP-sensitive K+channels=↓K+ efflux=depolarization=Ca++ influx via voltage gated channels= INSULIN RELEASE
sulfonylureas indications
T2DM
(if initial therapy fails/ metformin is CI)
sulfonylureas 1st generation disadvantage
↑PPB= ↑ adverse effects + drug interaction
sulfonylureas 2nd generation advantages
-↑receptor affinity= 150x more potent
-less adverse effects & interactions
sulfonylureas CI (5)
1-T1DM
2-DM w/ pregnancy & lactation
3-DM w/ stress
4-DM w/ renal or liver disease
5-past history of sulfa allergy
sulfonylureas CI in pregnancy & lactation because
cross placenta & excreted in milk—>hypoglycemia in fetus
sulfonylureas CI in T1DM because
needs functioning Beta-cells
sulfonylureas CI in DM w/ stress because (3)
-ineffective
-stress ↑ insulin requirements
-ketoacidosis liable to occur
sulfonylureas CI in liver & renal diseases
-metabolized by liver & excreted by kidney so
prolonged action—> ↑hypoglycemia risk
sulfonylureas adverse effects (3)
Hypoglycemia
Hypersensitivity (skin rash)
Heavy weight
hypoglycemia is increased w/ sulfonylurea use in cases of
-preparation w/ long t1/2
-impaired elimination (old age, renal/liver disease)
nonsulfonylureas mechanism of action
-↑ insulin secretion via:
binds to β-cell receptors= (-) ATP-sensitive K+ channels= ↓K+ efflux= depol=Ca++ influx=INSULIN RELEASE
nonsulfonylureas advantages (4)
1-rapid onset, short duration
2- ↓ early hyperglycemia
3- ↓ late hyperglycemia
4-used in patients w/ sulfa allergy
nonsulfonylureas disadvantages (3)
1-frequent dosing (3times/day)
2-mild hypoglycemia
3-weight gain
Nonsulfonylureas used cautiously in
liver impairement
DOC in patient w/ sulfa allergy
nonsulfonylurea secretagogues
peak effect of sulfonylureas
after 2-3 hours so give before main meal
euglycemics
sensitizers; metformin
Pioglitazone (Tzds)
acarbose
drugs causing weight gain
1-secretagogues; sulfonylureas & nonsulfonylureas
2- Tzds
drugs NOT causing weight gain
metformin
metformin mechanism of action
(-) Hepatic gluconeogenesis
(+) Glycolysis in SKM & adipose tissue=
↑uptake of blood glucose + ↑ lactic acid
↓intestinal absorption=mild anorectic effect
metformin advantages (3)
1-NO hypoglycemia
2-NO weight gain (so↓ insulin resistance)
3- NO drug interactions
metformin doesn’t lead to drug interactions due to
-NO PPB
-NO hepatic metabolism
metformin indications
T2DM w/ lifestyle modifications & diet
