[7] It works mostly by increasing the release of insulin. [7]
Drugs which cause disulfiram-like reactions upon ingestion of alcohol as an unintended effect include: [6] [1] [7] Abacavir Cephalosporins , but only these with a methylthiotetrazole side chain or a methylthiodioxotriazine ring; thought to be due to common N -methylthiotetrazole metabolite , which is similar in structure to disulfiram.

Disulfiram is a medication used to support the treatment of chronic alcoholism by producing an acute sensitivity to ethanol (drinking alcohol). Disulfiram works by inhibiting the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase (specifically the ALDH2 enzyme [3]), causing many of the effects of a hangover to be felt immediately following alcohol consumption.
In rare situations, systemic side effects may occur. Serious adverse drug reactions of this corticosteroid are Cushing's syndrome, symptoms and signs include high blood glucose level, excretion of glucose in urine and weight gain. [4] These undesirable effects can be prevented by not applying triamcinolone in large area. [4]
Alogliptin, sold under the brand names Nesina and Vipidia, [2] [3] is an oral anti-diabetic drug in the DPP-4 inhibitor (gliptin) class. [4] Like other members of the gliptin class, it causes little or no weight gain, exhibits relatively little risk of hypoglycemia, and has relatively modest glucose-lowering activity. [1]
A study confirmed that side effects like pancreatitis and kidney damage are possible while taking GLP-1s like Ozempic. Here's what a doctor wants you to know.
Alcohol-related deaths have climbed nationally in the past few years: The U.S. saw a 25% spike in deaths during the first year of the pandemic, a trend that particularly affected middle-aged adults.
Drugs used in diabetes treat types of diabetes mellitus by decreasing glucose levels in the blood.With the exception of insulin, most GLP-1 receptor agonists (liraglutide, exenatide, and others), and pramlintide, all diabetes medications are administered orally and are thus called oral hypoglycemic agents or oral antihyperglycemic agents.
