Regular insulin (short duration: slower acting)
|
|
What is Novolin R and duration of action
|
Regular insulin (short duration: slower acting)
|
|
What is Humulin N and duration
|
(HUMULIN N IS THE TRADE NAME FOR NPH) so it is a regular insulin that is slow acting
|
|
What is Novolin N and duration
|
(NOVOLIN N IS THE TRADE NAME FOR NPH) so it is a regular insulin that is slow acting
|
|
What is Levemir and duration of action
|
Insulin detemir (prolonged and delayed absorption)
|
|
What is Lantus and duration of action
|
Insulin glargine (very prolonged absorption over 24 hours and keeps concentrations constant)
|
|
What is Metformin and duration of action
|
It is an oral hypoglycemic and it works by increasing sensitivity in vivo (it is available in tablets (q2day), ER tab (q1day), oral solution (for children 2xday)
|
|
What is Tolbutamide and how does it work
|
lowers blood sugar by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas and increasing sensitivity to insulin at receptor sites. ORAL antidiabetic
|
|
What is Glipizide and how does it work
|
Controls blood sugar in Type 2 diabetes when diet therapy fails ; decreases blood sugar by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas and increasing the sensitivity to insulin at receptor sites (normally given once daily and can act for 24 hours)
|
|
What is Glyburide and how does it work
|
it is an oral insulin regulator in TYPE 2 DM that works by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas and increasing the sensitivity to insulin at receptor sites
|
|
What is Glimepiride and how does it work
|
It lowers blood sugar by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas and increasing the sensitivity to insulin at receptor sites. (may be used with metformin) ORAL insulin regulator TYPE 2 DM
|
|
What is Pioglitazone and how does it work
|
ORAL insulin regulator for TYPE 2 DM --> used in combo with metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin: works by improves sensitivity to insulin by acting as an agonist at receptor sites involved in insulin responsiveness and subsequent glucose production and utilization
|
|
What is Repaglinide and how does it work
|
Oral insulin regulator for TYPE 2 DM --> used in combo with metformin, rosiglitazone, or pioglitazone: works by stimulating the release of insulin from pancreatic beta cells by closing potassium channels, which results in the opening of calcium channels in beta cells ... then insulin release is followed.
|
|
What is Acarbose and how does it work
|
Management for Type 2 diabetes with dietary therapy; ORAL might be used with insulin or other hypoglycemic agents. It lowers blood glucose by inhibiting the enzyme alpha-glucosidase in the GI tract
|
|
What is Levothyroxine (T4) and how does it work
|
It is a lifelong replacement therapy of T4 (in hypothyroidism) which is an endogenous thyroid hormone
|
|
What is Liothyronine (T3) and how does it work
|
In hypothyroidism it replaces or supplements T3
|
|
What is radioactive iodine and how does it work
|
Treatment for Graves disease and is successful 75-100% but creates hypothyroidism requiring lifelong treatment (it does this by destroying the Thyroid tissues)
