Drug name and Class, Exam 2 Flashcards
Novolog (Aspart)
Rapid acting insulin
Humalog (lispro)
Rapid acting insulin
Glulisine (apidra)
Rapid acting insulin
Humalin R
Short acting insulin
Novolin R
Short acting insulin
Humulin N
Intermediate acting insulin
Novolin N
Intermediate acting insulin
Detemir (Levemir)
Long acting insulin
Glargine (Lantus)
Long acting insulin
Degludec (Tresiba)
Long acting insulin
Glyburide (Glynase)
Sulfonylureas
-Stimulate beta cells to secrete more insulin and increases receptor sensitivity
-Causes hypoglycemia
Glipizide (Glucotrol),
Sulfonylureas
-Stimulate beta cells to secrete more insulin and increases receptor sensitivity
-Causes hypoglycemia
Glimepiride (Amaryl),
Sulfonylureas
-Stimulate beta cells to secrete more insulin and increases receptor sensitivity
-Causes hypoglycemia
Chloropropamide (Diabinese)
Sulfonylureas
-Stimulate beta cells to secrete more insulin and increases receptor sensitivity
-Causes hypoglycemia
Repaglinide (Prandin)
Meglitinides
-Works like sulfonylureas but weaker
-Can still cause hypoglycemia
Nateglinide (Starlix)
Meglitinides
-Works like sulfonylureas but weaker
-Can still cause hypoglycemia
Metformin (Glucopohage)
Biguanides
-Decreases liver stores of glucose and make cells less resistant to insulin
Rosiglitazone (Avandia),
Thiazolidinediones or TZDs
-Makes cells more sensitive to insulin and decreases glucose production in liver
-Does not make hypoglycemia
-Also lowers BP and triglyceride levels as well as increase HDL levels
Sitagliptin (Januvia),
DPP-4 inhibitors
Inhibits the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) which inhibits glucagon release, increases insulin secretion, and decreases gastric emptying – thus decreasing blood glucose levels.
Saxagliptin (Onglyza),
DPP-4 inhibitors
Inhibits the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) which inhibits glucagon release, increases insulin secretion, and decreases gastric emptying – thus decreasing blood glucose levels.
Linagliptin (Tradjenta)
DPP-4 inhibitors
Inhibits the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) which inhibits glucagon release, increases insulin secretion, and decreases gastric emptying – thus decreasing blood glucose levels.
Acarbose (Precose)
Alpha-gluocoside inhibitors
-Starch blocker, lower the blood glucose by breaking down starchy food in gut
-Makes ya fart
Miglitol (Glycet)
Alpha-gluocoside inhibitors
-Starch blocker, lower the blood glucose by breaking down starchy food in gut
-Makes ya fart
Pioglitazone (Actos)
Thiazolidinediones or TZDs
-Makes cells more sensitive to insulin and decreases glucose production in liver
-Does not make hypoglycemia
-Also lowers BP and triglyceride levels as well as increase HDL levels
