Drug | Class/Action |
Metformin (Glucophage) | Oral Anti diabetic/ Inhibits hepatic glucose production and increases sensativity of peripheral tissue to insulin |
Sitagliptin Phosphate | Antidiabetic, oral/ Slows the inactivation of incretin hormones, improves glucose homeostasis, improves glucose-dependent insulin secreation, lowers glucagon secreations and slows gastric emptying time. |
Glyburide | Antidiabetic/ Causes functioning B cells in pancreas to release insulin, leading to drop in blood glucose levels, may improve insulin binding to insulin receptors and increase number of insulin receptors with prolonged administration |
Glimepiride | Antidiabetic/ Causes functioning B cells in pancreas to release insulin, leading to drop in blood glucose levels; may improve insulin binding to insulin receptors or increase the number of insulin receptors with pro longed administration. |
Glipizide | Antidiabetic/Causes functioning B cells in pancreas to release insulin, leading to drop in blood glucose levels; may improve insulin binding to insulin receptors or increase the number of insulin receptors with pro longed administration. |
Pioglitazone Hydrochloride | Oral Antidiabetic/ Specifically targets insulin resistance, an insulin sensitizer; regulates the transcription of a number of insulin-responsive genes. |
Liraglutide | Antidiabetic agent/ Improved glycemic control and potential weight loss via activation of the glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) receptor |
Insulin Aspart | Antidiabetic, pancreatic hormone-Chem Class: Modified structure of endogenous human insulin/ Decreases blood glucose by transport of glucose into cells and the conversion of glucose to glycogen, indirectly increases blood pyruvate and lactate. |
Insulin Lispro | Antidiabetic, pancreatic hormone-Chem Class: Modified structure of endogenous human insulin/ Decreases blood glucose by transport of glucose into cells and the conversion of glucose to glycogen, indirectly increases blood pyruvate and lactate. |
Insulin Detemir | Antidiabetic, pancreatic hormone-Chem Class: Modified structure of endogenous human insulin/ Decreases blood glucose by transport of glucose into cells and the conversion of glucose to glycogen, indirectly increases blood pyruvate and lactate. |
Insulin Glargine | Antidiabetic, pancreatic hormone-Chem Class: Modified structure of endogenous human insulin/ Decreases blood glucose by transport of glucose into cells and the conversion of glucose to glycogen, indirectly increases blood pyruvate and lactate. |
Levothyroxine | Thyroid hormone/ Controls protein synthesis, increases metabolic rate, cardiac output, renal blood flow, oxygen consumption, body temp, blood volume, growth, development at cellular level via action on thyroid hormone receptor |
Thyroid | Thyroid hormone/ Increases metabolic rate, increases cardiac output, oxygen consumption, body, temp, blood volume, growth, development at cellular level. |
Testosterone | Androgenic anabolic steriod/Increases weight by building body tissues; increases potassium, phoshorous, chloride, nitrogen levels, increases bone development; responsible for maintenance of secondary sex characteristics(male). |
Estradiol | Estrogen, progestin/ Needed for adequate functioning of female reproductive system; affects release of pituitary gonadatropins, inhibits ovulation, promotes adequate calcium use in bone structure. |
Estrogen, conjugated | Functional and Chem Class absent/ Needed for adequate functioning of female reproductive system; affects release of pituitary gonadatropins, inhibits ovulation, promotes adequate calcium use in bone structure. |
Oxybutynin | Anticholinergic/Relaxes smooth muscle in urinary tract by inhibiting acetylcholine at postganglionic sites |
Tamsulosin Hydrochloride | Selective alpha adrenergic blocker, BPH agent/Binds preferentially to alpha IA adrenoceptor subtype located mainly in the prostate. |
Finasteride | Androgen hormone inhibitor, hair stimulant/ Inhibits 5 alpha reductase and reduction in dihydrotesterone (DHT); DHT induces androgenic effects by binding to androgen receptors in the cell nuclei of the prostate gland, liver, skin. |
Anastrozole | Antineoplastic/Highly selective non steriodal aromatase inhibitor that lowers serum estradiol concetrations; many breast cancers have strong estrogen receptors. |
Phentermine | Anorectic/Promotes weight loss when used for a short period of time. |
Desogestrel-Ethinyl Estradiol | Hormonal Contraceptive/Prevents ovulation by contraceptives suppressing FSH, LH, monophasic estrogen/progestin (fixed dose) used during 21 days cycle; thickening of cervical mucous and endometrial lining prevents pregnancy. |
Ethinyl Estradiol/Drospirenone | Hormonal Contraceptive/Prevents ovulation by contraceptives suppressing FSH, LH, monophasic estrogen/progestin (fixed dose) used during 21 days cycle; thickening of cervical mucous and endometrial lining prevents pregnancy. |
Ethinyl Estradiol/Levonorgestrel | Hormonal Contraceptive/Prevents ovulation by contraceptives suppressing FSH, LH, monophasic estrogen/progestin (fixed dose) used during 21 days cycle; thickening of cervical mucous and endometrial lining prevents pregnancy. |
Ethinyl Estradiol/Norethindrone | Hormonal Contraceptive/Prevents ovulation by contraceptives suppressing FSH, LH, monophasic estrogen/progestin (fixed dose) used during 21 days cycle; thickening of cervical mucous and endometrial lining prevents pregnancy. |
Ethinyl Estradiol/Norgestimate | Hormonal Contraceptive/Prevents ovulation by contraceptives suppressing FSH, LH, monophasic estrogen/progestin (fixed dose) used during 21 days cycle; thickening of cervical mucous and endometrial lining prevents pregnancy. |
Metformin hydrochloride(Prandimet, Riomet, Metaglip, Glucovance) | Biguanide/lowers blood glucose concentration in patients with type 2 diabetes without increasing insulin secretion from pancreatic B cells. |
metformin sitagliptin (janumet) | dipeptidyl petidase/triflurophenyl/diabetes/ an enzyme that inactivates uncertain hormones glucagon-like peptide |
