Pharm-II
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What patients are on insulin | almost all DMT2, and ~40%of DMT2 pts |
| When in the number of insulin pt’s supposed to double by | 2025 |
| What are the benefits of insulin | allow nl daily glycemic fluctuations that mimic physiological postprandial insulin levels, be affordable, flexible lifestyle, allow liberal food choices |
| How many BGC should be done/day | at least 3 depending on the DM and the control of it |
| 4 most important components in insulin dosing | BG levels, CHO/meal, Insulin dose, Activity level (Schedule and physical and emotional stress also come into play) |
| What insulin dose do we adjust | the one prior to the pattern seen |
| What has dramatically increased over the past 20 years | obesity |
| What is “Obesity” | BMI >30, >120% of ideal body wt, Waist Circum >40m, >35F |
| Underweights | BMI < 18.6 |
| Normal wt | BMI 18.5-24.9 |
| Overweight | BMI 25-29.9 |
| Obesity stage I | BMI 30-34.5 |
| Obesity Stage II | BMI 35-39.9 |
| Extreme obesity (III) | BMI >40 |
| What amount of wt reduction will reduce obesity-related health risks | Modest amount of 5-10% of wt |
| Some health risks associated w/ DM | DM, HTN, High lipids, CHD, Cancer, OA, Sleep apnea, preggo comps, Depression, Gallbladder dz, Gout, Hirsutism, Psych difficulties |
| What cancers are associated w/ obesity | Men: colorectal and prostate, Women: Endometrial, cervical, ovarian, breast, gallbladder |
| How to lose weight action | find a healthy weight, be active, eat well |

| Goals of obesity tx | set realistic wt goals, appropriate rate, maintain lower body wt, prevent further wt gain |
| Two step processes in obesity tx | 1: assessment: measure what they r at, are they ready to change? 2: management |
| Management methods of DM | foods <30% fat, PA, change in behaviors, Pharm, surgery |
| When do we consider pharm tx for obesity | BMI > 30, or >27 w/ HTN, DM, hyper lipids |
| Problem w/ pharm tx | high incidence of wt gain post tx |
| What drug is approved for LT use | Orlistate (Xenical) |
| What is a reversible gastric and pancreatic lipase inhibitor and action | Orlistate (Xenical, Alli): ↓ dietary fat absorption by 30% |
| AE’s of orlistat | Oily or loose stools, fecal urgency, fecal incontinence, bloating and gas, which ↑ w/ ↑ fat intake |
| Problems w/ vitamin absorption | ↓ Vit D,E and B carotene |
| Rare serious cases with the use of orlistat | severe liver injury w/ hepatocellular necrosis |
| Drug interactions | ↑ bioavailability and lipid lowing effect of pravastatin |
| Efficacy for alli | >5% wt loss 45%, a >10% wt loss 20% |
| When do we dose alli | 120mg tid with each meal containing fat OTC is 60mg |
| What drug ↑NE and DA which is a mild CNS stimulant | Phentermine (lonamin or Fastin) |
| CI of Phentermine | severe HTN, symptomatic CV dz, Hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, concurrent MAIO, ETOH use |
| Precautions w/ phentermine | insulin requirements may ↓ w/ pts for DM CLOSE monitoring necessary |
| Why does insulin not needed for phentermine | ↓ appetite, ↓ food intake, ↓insulin need |
| Dose for phentermine | 30mg/day no added effect w/ higher dose |
| What is Diethypropion | another mild CNS stimulant |
| AE’s of diethrpropion | CNS stimulation: restlessness, insomnia, tremor, dizziness, HA, euphoria, dysphoria |
| DI’s w/ Diethypropion | do not use other CNS stimulants, and no MAOI w/I 14 days |
| CI of diehypropion | pulm HTN, artheriosclerisis, hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, severe HTN, MAOI ETOH use/abuse |
| What serious SE’s can this drug have | Sz’s in pts w/ sz d/o, limit dispensement d/t ↑ risk OD, insulin dose ↓ |
| What are two antidiabetic agents | Exendatide and Pramlintide use for wt loss |
| Herbal supplements for wt loss | none to be prescribed, |
| Why can herbal supplements be dangerous | many contain bitter orange: ↑ risk of CVA and cardioox |
| What does ↑ Ca++ do | SEEMS to ↑ wt reduction, LBM, and body fat loss |
| Problem w/ meal replacement prodcuts | when start eating again, gain it back |
| What will ↑ wt loss | ↓ caloric intake + PE |
| How do pts maintain wt loss | lifestyle changes: healthy food choices and physical activity |
| When do we consider pharm management for obesity | BMI >30 or >27 with co-morbitities CLOSE monitoring!! |
| Comorbitites that obesity can ↑ risk for | smoking, HTN, LDL >160 or >130 + 2 others, IFG, FHx, age and gender |
| What contributes to obesity | physical inactivity and ↑ serum TGs |
