What is the proposed MOA of DDI in pt taking GLP-1 agonist? | - GLP-1 can slow gastric emptying --> REDUCE extend/ rate of absorption - Caution if narrow therapeutic drugs are used ( as threshold conc of efficacy is required) |
When should the patient on GLP-1 agonist be advised to take oral contraceptive? | - 1 hr before exenadtide and Adlyxin - 8 hr after Adlyxin |
What are the main point to counsel pt using GLP-1? | - SC injection - Rotate sites - dispose needle, pen and syringes in sharp containers |

What is the MOA of Pramlintide? | - it's a synthetic analog of Amylin ( neuroendocrine hormone produced by beta cells) - targets PPBG - slows down the gastric emptying, suppress glucagon |
When Pramlintide ( symlin) is C/I? | - in pt with gastroparesis - Unawarness hypoglycemia |
Which class of drugs increases the risk of severe hypoglycemia in pt taking Pramlintide (symlin) and considered BBW as combination ? | - insulin within 3 hrs - severe hypoglycemia is BBW when used with insulin - consider 50% reduction of mealtime insulin when starting Pramlintide |
What are some of the common side effects of pramlintide? | - GI : n/v/ anorexia/ wt loss - headache |
What is the pramlintide ( symlin) dosing in type I and II DM pt? | - type I: symlin pen 60 mcg/dose - type II: symlin pen 120 mcg/dose ** NAUSEA: is the titration factor ** |
What is the required major meal nutrients prior to SC administration of Pramlintide? | - SC in thigh or abdominal area prior to meal - >250 Kcal - > 30 grams carbs *** if the meal doesn't meet these requirements, skip the dose 2/2 to severe hypoglycemia side effect |
What is the proposed MOA of DDI with pramlintide? | - slows gastric emptying --> reduces rate/extent of absorption - administer other drugs 1 hr before or 2 hr after |
