A/E of Metformin
Lactic Acidosis
B12 deficiency
GI upset
A/E of sulfonyureas
Hypoglycemia
Disulfram-like effect
Sulfonylurea
Glimepiride, glypizide, glyburide
MoA of Metformin
Inhibits gluconeogenesis
Inhibits glycolysis
Increases absorption of glucose
MoA of Meglitinides
Binds to Ca channel, stimulating the production of a short burst of endogenous insulin production.
Repaglinide, Nateglinide
MoA of Sulfonylureas
Binds to K+
A/E of Meglitinide
Hypoglycemia
DPP4 inhibitors
Linagliptin, Saxagliptin, Sitagliptin
MoA: Inhibits DPP4 (therefore making it possible for GLP-1 to carry out its duties.
It makes you urinate (pp 4 more times)
A/E of DPP4 inhibitors
“Lipton makes you pp4 more times”
Respiratory infections
Urinary Infections
GLP-1 Agonist
Exenatide, liraglutide
Promote the activities of GLP-1 which is increasing insulin release and decreasing glucagon release.
MoA of SGLT-2 Inhibitors
Inhibits the sodium-glucose co-transporter in the PCT, therefore decreasing the reabsorption of glucose.
A/E of SGLT-2 Inhibitors
“Flozin through the urine”
Glucosouria
UTI
Vaginal yeast infant
Hyperkalemia
Dehydration
MoA of Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors
Inhibits intestinal brush-border alpha-glucosidases
A/E of Alpha-Glucosidase inhibitors
GI upset, Gas & Bloating
Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors
Acarbose
Miglitol
A/ E of Thiazolindinediones
Heart Failure
Increased risk of fracture
MoA of Thiazolidinediones
Binds to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma) factor causing an increase in insulin sensitivity
Thiazolidinediones
“Bring glita to the PPAR-ty”
Pio-glita-zone, Rosi-glita-zone
Amylin Analogs
Pramlinitide: A synthetic amylin that works along side insulin
A/E: Hypoglycemia
“-dipine” (dihydropyridine)
Ca channel blockers
Primarily act on blood vessels
Non-dihydropyridine primarily act on
The heart and are therefore used to manage tachyarrhythmias.
