Flashcards
Sulfonylureas
Sulfonylureas
A class of oral anti-diabetic drugs that stimulate insulin release from the pancreas.
a-Glucosidase Inhibitors
a-Glucosidase Inhibitors
Oral anti-diabetic drugs that slow down the digestion of carbohydrates, decreasing the amount of glucose absorbed into the bloodstream.
Incretin Enhancers
Incretin Enhancers
A group of oral anti-diabetic drugs that enhance the action of incretin hormones, stimulating insulin release and decreasing glucagon secretion.
