Cards

Term
insulin (humulin R, novolin R)
Definition
rapid acting--suitable for IV use (DM)
Term
insulin lispro (humalog)
Definition
rapid acting (DM)
Term
NPH insulin (humulin N, novolin N)
Definition
intermediate acting--insulin aggregated with protamine and zinc (DM)
Term
insulin glargine (lantus)
Definition
long acting--2 arg added to C term--poorly soluble at pH 7 (DM)
Term
metformin (glucophage, glumetza)
Definition
biguanide--activates AMPK in hepatocytes reducing hepatic gluconeogenesis preventing hyperglycemia and not producing hypoglycemia (1st line for DM2)
Term
glyburide (diabeta, micronase, glynase presTab)
Definition
sulfonylurea--inhibit Katp channel on B cell leading to increased insulin release (early stage DM2) --dont use with pregnant or lactating women
Term
repaglinide (prandin)
Definition
meglitinide--inhibit Katp channel on B cell leading to increased insulin release (early stage DM2) --better than sulfonylureas
Term
pioglitazone (actos)
Definition
thizolidinedione--peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARy) agonist leads to increased sensitivity to insulin mainly in adipose (DM2) --lots of adverse effects, takes 1-3months for effects
Term
rosiglitazone (avandia)
Definition
thizolidinedione--peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARy) agonist leads to increased sensitivity to insulin mainly in adipose (DM2) --lots of adverse effects such as MI/stroke, takes 1-3months for effects
Term
acarbose (precose)
Definition
alpha-glucosidase inhibitor--inhibits breakdown of complex carbs and oligosaccharides in gut delaying absorption of glucose (DM2) --give glucose tabs for instances of hypoglycemia
Term
pramlitide (symlin)
Definition
amylin analogue--acts at amylin receptor in hindbrain to suppress glucagon release, delay gastric emptying, promote satiety (DM1 and 2 as adjunct to insulin)
Term
exenatide (byetta)
Definition
GLP-1 agonist--increases insulin synthesis and secretion in a glucose dependent manner, delays gastric emptying, decreases appetite, suppresses glucagon release (DM2)
Term
sitagliptin (januvia)
Definition
DPP-4 inhibitor--increases levels of incretins GLP-1 and GIP increasing insulin secretion and decreasing glucagon (DM2) --increased rate of infections
Term
canagliflozin (invokana)
Definition
SGLT2 inhibitor--inhibits glucose reabsorption in proximal tubule (DM2) --risk of UTI's
Term
acetazolamide (diamox)
Definition
carbonic anhydrase inhibitor--inhibits NaHCO3 reabsorption in proximal tubule (glaucoma, altitude sickness, epilepsy, overdoses, metabolic alkalosis)
Term
mannitol (osmitrol)
Definition
osmotic diuretic in proximal tubule and descending limb (oliguric acute renal failure, glaucoma, overdoses)
Term
furosemide (lasix)
Definition
loop diuretic--inhibits Na-K-2Cl symport in thick ascending limb (CHF, pulmonary edema, hypertension, hypercalcemia, edema of nephrotic syndrome, edema with liver cirrhosis, overdoses, treat hyponatremia when administered with hypertonic saline)
Term
ethacrynic acid (edecrin)
Definition
loop diuretic--inhibits Na-K-2Cl symport in thick ascending limb (CHF, pulmonary edema, hypertension, hypercalcemia, edema of nephrotic syndrome, edema with liver cirrhosis, overdoses, treat hyponatremia when administered with hypertonic saline)
Term
hydrochlorothiazide (microzide)
Definition
thiazide diuretic--inihibits Na-Cl symport in early distal convoluted tubule (edema of heart failure, 1st line for hypertension, prevent Ca nephrolithiasis and osteoporosis, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, ascites from liver cirrhosis)
Term
chlorothiazide (diuril)
Definition
thiazide diuretic--inihibits Na-Cl symport in early distal convoluted tubule (edema of heart failure, hypertension, prevent Ca nephrolithiasis and osteoporosis, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, ascites from liver cirrhosis)
Term
chlorthalidone (thalitone)
Definition
thiazide diuretic--inihibits Na-Cl symport in early distal convoluted tubule (edema of heart failure, 1st line for hypertension, prevent Ca nephrolithiasis and osteoporosis, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, ascites from liver cirrhosis)
Term
indapamide (lozol)
Definition
strongest thiazide diuretic--inihibits Na-Cl symport in early distal convoluted tubule (edema of heart failure, 1st line for hypertension, prevent Ca nephrolithiasis and osteoporosis, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, ascites from liver cirrhosis) -doesnt increase LDL/cholesterol
Term
desmopressin acetate (arginine vasopressin, DDAVP, stimate)
Definition
synthetic ADH (nocturnal enuresis due to central diabetes insipidus)
