Question | Answer |
---|---|
metformin (Glucophage, Fortamet, Riomet): Biguanides (PO antihyperglycemic) | prevents liver from releasing excesses glucose SE= diarrhea, n&v, anorexia, hypo-glycemia, LACTIC ACIDOSIS…Take w/ meals; D/C before taking contrast dye. |
glipzide (Glucotrol): sulfonylureas (PO antidiabetics) | stimulates release of insulin & increases insulin sensitivity SE= dizziness, HA; constipation, cramps , diarrhea, N&V, hypoglycemia; APLASTIC ANEMIA, agranulocytosis…Monitor for hypoglycemia & CBC for agranulocytosis |
glyburide (Diabeta, Micronase, Glynase): ): sulfonylureas (PO antidiabetics) | stimulates release of insulin & increases insulin sensitivity SE= SE= dizziness, HA; constipation, cramps , diarrhea, N&V, hypoglycemia; APLASTIC ANEMIA, agranulocytosis…Monitor for hypoglycemia & CBC for agranulocytosis |
acarbose (Precose): alpha glucosidase inhibitors(PO antidiabetic) | Delays and reduces glucose absorption SE= abdominal pain, diarrhea, flatulence…Take with meals |
sitagliptin (Januvia): enzyme inhibitors (PO antidiabetic) | increased levels of active incretin hormones. SE= headache. PANCREATITIS, nausea, diarrhea.URI…. Monitor for hypoglycemia if used with sulfonylurea. DO NOT USE WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES. Monitor for kidney function |
Glucagon: pancreatics (IM, I, Sub Q: hormones) | Stimulates hepatic production of glucose from glycogen breaks down stored glycogen to glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels…SE= N&V…. Assess for N/V after dose. Turn on side to avoid aspiration. Large does may enhance effect of warfarin |
