    Study Notes

    Thiazolidinediones (Glitazones)

    • Glitazones are oral hypoglycemic agents that decrease insulin resistance and glucose production in type 2 diabetes patients.
    • They are frequently used in combination with other diabetes medications.
    • Glitazones can be alternative medications for overweight patients or those at risk of hypoglycemia.
    • They are cost-effective options for patients with medication cost or access issues.

    Mechanism of Action

    • Glitazones activate PPAR gamma receptors in cell nuclei, which regulate carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
    • This activation enhances insulin sensitivity, particularly in skeletal muscle and adipose cells.
    • Glitazones mildly reduce hepatic glucose production.

    Indications and Therapeutic Uses

    • Used to achieve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes.

    Side Effects and Adverse Reactions

    • Heart Failure: Increased risk due to fluid retention. Black box warning.
    • Hypoglycemia: Low risk with monotherapy, but increases when combined with insulin or other antidiabetic medications.
    • Ovulation: Can induce ovulation in premenopausal women, potentially leading to unintended pregnancy.
    • Bladder Cancer: Risk increases with prolonged high doses. Manifestations: blood in urine, painful urination, or increased urgency.
    • Fractures: Increased risk in women, especially with long-term high-dose therapy.
    • Liver Failure: Rare but monitor liver function tests before and during therapy.

    Precautions and Contraindications

    • Precautions:

      • Use cautiously in patients with mild heart failure.
      • Use cautiously in premenopausal women due to ovulation risk.
      • Use cautiously in patients with elevated LDL cholesterol as glitazones can increase LDL levels.
      • Use cautiously in patients prone to hypoglycemia.

    • Contraindications:

      • Severe heart failure.
      • History of bladder cancer.

    Drug Interactions

    • Insulin: Combination increases the risk of heart failure due to fluid retention.
    • CYP2C8 Inhibitors (atorvastatin, ketoconazole): Inhibit glitazone metabolism, leading to increased levels. Reduce glitazone dosage.
    • CYP2C8 Inducers (rifampin, cimetidine): Induce glitazone metabolism, leading to decreased levels. Increase glitazone dosage.

    Dosing, Administration, and Client Teaching

    • Dosing varies based on patient condition, severity, and response.
    • Consult drug dosing guidelines for individualized dosing.
    • Administered orally, once daily.
    • Practice careful patient selection to prevent adverse effects.
    • Glitazones can be alternative medications for overweight or hypoglycemia-prone individuals.

    Thiazolidinediones (Glitazones)

    • Thiazolidinediones reduce glucose levels by decreasing insulin resistance and production.
    • They are frequently used in combination with other drugs to treat type 2 diabetes.
    • Thiazolidinediones are considered an alternative medication for overweight individuals or those at risk for hypoglycemia.
    • Thiazolidinediones can be beneficial for clients with medication cost or access issues.

    Mechanism of Action

    • Activate the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) in the cell nucleus, which enhances insulin-responsive genes involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
    • Increase cellular insulin sensitivity, particularly in skeletal muscle and adipose cells.
    • Mildly reduce liver glucose production.

    Indications and Therapeutic Uses

    • Improve glycemic control in clients with type 2 diabetes.

    Side Effects and Adverse Reactions

    • Heart Failure: A black box warning exists due to the potential for thiazolidinediones to precipitate or exacerbate this condition through fluid retention.
    • Hypoglycemia: While the risk is low with monotherapy, it increases when combined with other blood sugar-lowering agents such as insulin or other oral antidiabetic medications.
    • Ovulation: Thiazolidinediones can cause ovulation in premenopausal women, potentially leading to unintended pregnancy.
    • Bladder Cancer: Prolonged, high doses of thiazolidinediones may increase the risk of bladder cancer, characterized by blood in the urine, painful urination, or increased urgency.
    • Fractures: The risk of fractures, particularly in women, can increase with long-term, high-dose therapy. It is recommended to maintain intake of vitamin D and calcium, engage in regular exercise, and consider medications for osteoporosis.
    • Liver Failure: Although rare, healthcare providers should monitor liver function tests (LFTs) before and during therapy to monitor for this adverse effect.

    Precautions

    • Use with caution in clients with mild heart failure.
    • Use with caution in premenopausal women due to the risk of unintended pregnancy.
    • Use with caution in clients with elevated LDL cholesterol, as thiazolidinediones can increase LDL levels.
    • Use with caution in clients prone to hypoglycemia.

    Contraindications

    • Contraindicated in clients with severe heart failure.
    • Contraindicated in clients with a history of bladder cancer.

    Black Box Warning

    • Thiazolidinediones can cause or worsen heart failure due to fluid retention.

    Drug Interactions

    • Combining thiazolidinediones with insulin increases the risk of heart failure due to fluid retention.
    • Thiazolidinediones are metabolized by the CYP2C8 enzyme. Combining thiazolidinediones with CYP2C8 inhibitors like atorvastatin or ketoconazole can elevate thiazolidinedione levels, requiring a dosage reduction.
    • Combining thiazolidinediones with CYP2C8 inducers like rifampin or cimetidine can lower thiazolidinedione levels, necessitating an increase in dosage.

    Dosing, Administration, & Client Teaching

    • Dosing varies based on the condition, severity, and client response. Refer to drug dosing guidelines for individualized dosing.
    • Administer orally (PO) once daily.
    • Practice careful client selection to minimize adverse effects.

    Notes

    • Thiazolidinediones are not a first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes, but they can be helpful for patients who are overweight or at risk for hypoglycemia, or who have medication cost or access issues.
    • The FDA has placed restrictions on the use of thiazolidinediones due to concerns about the potential for cardiovascular complications.

    Thiazolidinediones

    • Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are a class of oral hypoglycemic agents used in combination with other drugs to treat type 2 diabetes.
    • They reduce insulin resistance and glucose production by activating the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) in the cell nucleus.
    • TZDs increase insulin sensitivity, particularly in skeletal muscle and adipose cells, and mildly reduce liver glucose production.
    • The FDA has placed restrictions on thiazolidinediones due to their association with increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and sudden cardiac death.
    • TZDs can also be used as alternative medications for overweight individuals or those with a risk of hypoglycemia.
    • TZDs are effective for clients with cost or access issues to medications.

    ### Side Effects and Adverse Reactions

    • Heart failure: TZDs have a black box warning for heart failure, which can be precipitated or worsened due to fluid retention.
    • Hypoglycemia: Monotherapy with TZDs has a low risk of hypoglycemia. The risk increases when combined with other antidiabetic agents, such as insulin or oral hypoglycemics.
    • Ovulation: TZDs can induce ovulation in premenopausal women, potentially leading to unintended pregnancy.
    • Bladder cancer: Prolonged, high-dose TZD therapy can lead to bladder cancer, characterized by hematuria, dysuria, or urinary frequency.
    • Fractures: TZDs can increase fracture risk in women, particularly with long-term, high-dose therapy. Clients should ensure adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, exercise, and consider osteoporosis medications if necessary.
    • Liver failure: While rare, liver function tests (LFTs) should be monitored before and during TZD therapy to detect any liver abnormalities.

    Precautions and Contraindications

    • Precautions:

      • Use with caution in clients with mild heart failure.
      • Use with caution in premenopausal women due to the risk of unintended pregnancy.
      • Use with caution in clients with elevated LDL cholesterol, as TZDs can increase LDL levels.
      • Use with caution in clients prone to hypoglycemia.

    • Contraindications:

      • Contraindicated in clients with severe heart failure.
      • Contraindicated in clients with a history of bladder cancer.

    Black Box Warning

    • TZDs can cause or exacerbate heart failure due to fluid retention.

    Drug Interactions

    • Combining TZDs with insulin increases the risk of heart failure due to fluid retention.
    • TZDs are metabolized by the CYP2C8 enzyme in the liver.
      • Inhibitors of CYP2C8, such as atorvastatin or ketoconazole, can increase TZD levels, requiring dosage reduction.
      • Inducers of CYP2C8, such as rifampin or cimetidine, can reduce TZD levels, necessitating an increase in dosage.

    Dosing, Administration, & Client Teaching
