Glipizide, sold under the brand name Glucotrol among others, is an anti-diabetic medication of the sulfonylurea class used to treat type 2 diabetes. [1] [2] It is used together with a diabetic diet and exercise. [1] [2] It is not indicated for use by itself in type 1 diabetes. [1] [2] It is taken by mouth.
[1] [2] It is regarded as a second-line option compared to metformin, due to metformin's well-established safety and efficacy. [1] Use of glimepiride is recommended in conjunction with lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise. [1] It is taken by mouth, [1] reaching a peak effect within three hours and lasting for about a day. [1]
Vildagliptin inhibits the inactivation of GLP-1 [2] [3] and GIP [3] by DPP-4, allowing GLP-1 and GIP to potentiate the secretion of insulin in the beta cells and suppress glucagon release by the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. It was approved by the EMA in 2007. [4]
[32] [33] Exenatide has only 53% homology with GLP, which increases its resistance to degradation by DPP-4 and extends its half-life. [34] A 2011 Cochrane review showed a HbA1c reduction of 0.20% more with Exenatide 2 mg compared to insulin glargine, exenatide 10 μg twice daily, sitagliptin and pioglitazone. [ 27 ]
Glibenclamide, also known as glyburide, is an antidiabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. [1] It is recommended that it be taken together with diet and exercise. [1] It may be used with other antidiabetic medication. [1] It is not recommended for use by itself in type 1 diabetes. [1] It is taken by mouth. [1]
[1] [16] They may be used as monotherapy in conjunction with an appropriate diabetic diet and exercise, or they may be used in conjunction with other anti-diabetic drugs. A Cochrane systematic review assessed the effect of AGIs in people with impaired glucose tolerance, impaired fasting blood glucose, elevated glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). [17]
The new study found that women who had higher levels of fluoride during pregnancy reported later that their kids were more likely to have temper tantrums, complain of vague headaches and ...
C-glucosides have a different pharmacokinetic profile than o-glucosides (e.g. half-life and duration of action) and are not degraded by the β-glucosidase. The first discovered c-glucoside was the drug dapagliflozin. [1] [14] [15] Dapagliflozin was the first highly selective SGLT-2-inhibitor approved by the European Medicines Agency. [16]
