• Treatment A= a single oral dose of a 5 mg saxagliptin tablet and 500 mg metformin XR (Glucophage XR) tablet same time.
• Treatment B=Single FDC tablet containing of 5 mg saxagliptin and 500 mg metformin XR (Kombiglyze XR™1 ). Cohort 2 • Treatment C= a single oral dose of a 5 mg saxagliptin tablet and 1000 mg metformin XR (Glucophage XR) tablets same

    Sitagliptin (Symlin) Mechanism of action: incretins, sush as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), it is enhance glucose-dependent insulin secreation and exhibit other antihyperglycemic actions following their release into the circulation from the gut. BYETTA (exenatide injection) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that enhances glucose-dependent insulin secreation, and slows gastric emptying. Adverse reaction: hypoglycemia Sitagliptin (Januvia) Mechanism of action: it is a DPP-4 inhibitor, which is believed to exert its actions in patients with type 2 diabetes by slowing the inactivation of incretin hormones. Concentrations of the active intact hormones are increased by JANUVIA, therapy increasing and prolonging the action of these hormones.…

    Patients intoxicated with methotrexate should be immediately started on leucovorin. As in the above mentioned intoxication case, the 60 year old male should be transfused with blood products including packed red blood cells, platelets, and fresh frozen plasma and should be empirically started on broad spectrum antibiotics for his neutropenic fever while discontinuing MTX. This will improve the patient’s condition significantly and pancytopenia will resolve with almost normal hematologic parameters in less than a week of follow-up. (2) For all patients on methotrexate, safety precautions must be applied: the creatinine change and CCR (creatinine clearance ratio) level must be evaluated by physicians to determine the MTX elimination status 24…

    Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone involved in glucose regulation. Made in the intestines and released in response to the rise in glucose from eating, GLP-1 plays a critical role in glucose homeostasis by increasing insulin production and suppressing glucagon release. Additionally, GLP-1 slows gastric emptying and contributes to satiety. The combination of these factors contributes to glycemia, particularly following meals. Activity of GLP-1, much like insulin, is impaired in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM)…

    Gaurav et al. have demonstrated the efficacy of mefloquine in diabetes and associated cardiovascular complications through measuring various parameters. However, mefloquine doesn’t impart noticeable protection against diabetes and associated cardiovascular complications except glycemic index, TBARS and protein carbonyl content. Moreover, it is well known that oxidative stress was higher in diabetes condition which was observed by decreased levels of antioxidant enzyme levels in the present study and the drug treatment doesn’t show any noticeable effect on these parameters. Authors have hypothesized that observed effect may be due to the effect on GLP-1 agonistic activity and the evident was not shown to claim for this activity.…
