Sulfonylureas
Sulfonylureas lower blood glucose by stimulating
insulin release from the pancreatic [beta] cells.
Sulfonylureas
Toxicity: hypoglycemia
shaking, sweating, anxiety, loss of
consciousness
Sulfonylureas
Interactions with dental drugs:
Corticosteroids (which can cause
hyperglycemia) may decrease effects
Aspirin and NSAIDs (ibuprofen) can increase
effects by plasma protein binding
displacement
Cimetidine (H2 antihistamine) increases
effects of certain sulfonylureas (e.g., Amaryl)
by interfering with metabolism by inhibiting

Meglitinides
Biguanides:
Metformin (Glucophage)
Drug of choice for newly diagnosed type 2
patients
Works by reducing the amount of glucose that
is made and output by the liver and
increasing the amount of glucose taken up
and used by target tissues.
Increases insulin sensitivity, thereby
decreasing the insulin resistance that is often a
problem in patients with type 2 DM.
Biguanides:
Metformin (Glucophage)
Advantage vs. sulfonylureas: not an insulin
secretagogue, thus no hypoglycemia.
The main concern with biguanides is that people
with kidney, liver or heart disease can develop a
serious, sometimes fatal condition called lactic
acidosis (rare with metformin).
Signs of lactic acidosis include labored breathing,
muscle cramps and dizziness or drowsiness.
Abstract
Biguanides have been developed for the treatment of hyperglycemia
and type 2 diabetes. Recently, metformin, the most widely prescribed
biguanide, has emerged as a potential anticancer agent.
Epidemiological, preclinical and clinical evidence supports the use of
metformin as a cancer therapeutic. The ability of metformin to lower
circulating insulin may be particularly important for the treatment of
cancers known to be associated with hyperinsulinemia, such as those
of the breast and colon. Moreover, metformin may exhibit direct
inhibitory effects on cancer cells by inhibiting mammalian target of
rapamycin (mTOR) signaling and protein synthesis. The evidence
supporting a role for metformin in cancer therapy and its potential
molecular mechanisms of action are discussed.
Glipizide/metformin (Metaglip)

Sitagliptan/metformin (Janumet)
Repaglinide/metformin (Prandimet)
Pioglitazone/metformin (Actoplus Met)
Metformin (Glucophage)
Potential Dental Drug interactions:
Cimetidine (H2 blocker) may increase plasma
levels by decreasing renal clearance,
Corticosteroids may decrease effect via
hyperglycemic effect of their own.
Not plasma protein bound, so plasma levels
not altered by aspirin, NSAIDs. (advantage vs.
sulfonylureas)
Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors:
Acarbose (Precose), Miglitol (Glyset), Vogilbose (Voglib)
This diabetes medication is taken with food at the
beginning of a meal and
slows down the digestion and absorption of sugars
and starches in the small intestine
Alpha-glucosidase hydrolyzes oligosaccharides to glucose and
other sugars
Thiazolidinediones
May, 2007: Study Shows 43% More Heart Attacks With Avandia
Pioglitazone (Actos)
Due to safety issues
with Avandia, many
doctors switched to
Actos

New Developments
Incretin Mimetics
Insulin Enhancers: DPP-4
inhibitors
Glucose renal reabsorption
inhibitors: SGLT2 inhibitors
Exenatide (Byetta)
The medication is injected subcutaneously twice per day
30-60 min. prior to eating using a specially designed
pen.
Typical human responses to Exenatide plus eating
include
improvements in the initial rapid release of internal insulin,
suppression of glucagon release by the pancreas,
and reduced appetite; all behaviors more typical of
individuals without blood sugar control problems.
Plus, patients lose weight on other meds, they gain
Nausea
Acute pancreatitis:
Thyroid cancer risk- FDA may add Black Box Warning
DDI:
can reduce plasma concentrations of acetaminophen and
antimicrobials by slowing absorption by decreasing gastric
emptying, but no evidence yet as to whether this is
clinically relevant
Liraglutide (Victoza)
Victoza introduced Feb. 2010:
benefits unique to Victoza vs. Byetta:
Once-daily injection
More flexible dosing: Byetta must be dosed at least
one hr before the morning and evening meal,
whereas Victoza can be injected anytime during the
day
Claimed better glucose control and a lower incidence
of nausea than Byetta
Pancreatitis risk may be lower, but FDA advises
caution in patients with a history of pancreatitis
Carries FDA Black Box warning regarding potential
risk of thyroid cancer
Dulaglutide (Trulicity)

secretion of insulin and suppresses the release of
glucagon by the pancreas
