    Study Notes

    Glucagon-like Peptide 2 Analog

    • Teduglutide is the key medication used as a GLP-2 analog for treating gastrointestinal disorders.

    Ursodiol (Actigall)

    • Primarily functions to reduce bile acids and cholesterol levels in the GI tract, aiding in conditions like gallstones and liver disease.

    Treating Variceal Hemorrhage

    • Beta-blockers are the class of drugs commonly associated with managing variceal hemorrhage.

    Beta-Receptor Blocking Drugs

    • These drugs lower portal vein pressure, reducing the risk of variceal bleeding and improving outcomes in patients with liver cirrhosis.

    Influencing GLP-2 Levels

    • Teduglutide directly influences GLP-2 levels, enhancing the efficacy of treatments for gastrointestinal disorders.

    Somatostatin in GI Medications

    • Primarily functions to inhibit gastric acid secretion and decrease gastrointestinal motility, making it useful in various GI conditions.

    Mechanism of Action of Vasopressin and Terlipressin

    • Both drugs act by constricting blood vessels, which increases systemic vascular resistance and decreases portal pressure, effectively treating variceal hemorrhage.

    Drugs Not Used for GI Conditions

    • Vasopressin does not belong to the GLP-2 analog group used for gastrointestinal conditions, as it primarily serves as a vasopressor.

    Purpose of GLP-2 Analogs

    • The primary purpose of GLP-2 analogs is to promote intestinal growth and enhance nutrient absorption in patients with short bowel syndrome or other GI disorders.

    Non-Vasopressor Drugs in Variceal Hemorrhage

    • Among the listed options, Ursodiol does not act as a vasopressor in the context of treating variceal hemorrhage.
