Pharmacotherapy of Diabetes

1. Biguanides(세포문 열어주는 보조제)

  • Metformin (Glucophage, Glucophage XR®®)
  • Primarily decreases hepatic glucose production and also increases peripheral insulin sensitivity. (Opens the door of cells so glucose can be utilize better)
  • 1st line agent in most patients
  • No hypoglycemia risk
  • Monitor diarrhea and abdominal cramping. It can be reduced by taking with food)

2. 2nd Generation Sulfonylureas(인슈린 생성 촉진제,주약)

  • Glimepiride(Amaryl®)
  • Glipizide (Glucotrol®, Glucotrol XL®)
  • Glyburide (Diabeta®, Micronase®)
  • Micronized glyburide (Glynase®)
  • Stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas
  • 2nd line agent
  • Risk of Hypoglycemia is very common
  • Any agent should be taken before meals

3. Combination of Biaguanides and 2nd generation Sulfonylureas

  • Glipizide/Metformin (Metaglip®)
  • Glyburide/Metformin Glucovanc®)

4. a-glucosidase inhibitors(소화를 억제시켜 혈당 천천히 오르게)

  • Acarbose (Precose®)
  • Miglitol (Glyset®)
  • Prevent digestion of Carbohydrates

5. Thiazolidinediones(인슈린 활성 시키는약)

  • Pioglitazone (Actos®)
  • Pioglitazone/Metformin (ActosPlusMet®)
  • Primarily increase insulin sensitivity. Also decreases hepatic glucose output

6. Meglitinide(인슈린 생성촉진제, 단시간형)

  • Repaglinide (Prandin®)
  • Nateglinde (Starlix®)
  • Increase insulin secretion from pancreas

7. Amylin Mimetics(주사제)

  • Pramlintide (Symlin®)
  • Slows down the movement of food through the intestine. This slows down the absorption of glucose from the intestine, which reduces sudden increases in blood glucose.
