    1/7

    Endocrine Drugs 1 of 7

    GlucocorticoidsMOA: Suppress immune system and inflammation by inhibiting chemical mediators such asprostaglandins, histamine, leukotrienes, lymphocytes, phagocytic cells,neutrophils & macrophage

    1) stimulate gluconeogensis & glucose secretion by liver

    2) increase hepatic sensitivity

    3) decrease glucose uptake and utilization by periphal tissue (adipose and muscle)

    4) promote glucose storage5) increase proteolysis and decrease protein synthesis in muscle to support gluconeogenesis activities

    Administration: PO, IV, IM, SQ, topically, local injection or inhalation (basically any route), but DONT put on open wound

    -- give in the AM (before 9am) atyour bodys natural corticol release time

    FYIs: Taper dose if extended use or high dose, watch out for growth retardation, remember its an immunosuppressant so watch for infection Pharmacokinetics: crosses placenta. can be in breast milk (and lead to growth retardation)

    2/7

    Endocrine Drugs 2 of 7

    MineralocorticoidsMOA: acts on distal tubule

    Aldosterone = K, Na, H2O

    -when serum Na is low or K is high, aldosterone levels rise (RAAS system)-Renin is released from kidneys in response to low blood flow, triggers the RAAS system

    Low Doses mineralocorticoid effect

    High Doses glucocorticoid activity

    Pharmacokinetics

    -quick GI absorbtion (peak at 1.7hrs)-metabolized by liver and excreted by the kidney

    -crosses placenta and gets into breast milk

    Uses-Adrenocortical insufficiency (Addisons)

    -Tx of salt-losing adrenogenital syndrome

    DrugsFludrocortisone (Florinef Acetate)

    -has both high mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid activity

    Adverse Reactions

    Low Dose

    -increase in BP

    High Dose-inhibits endogenous adrenal cortical secretion & pituitary corticotropin excretion

    -promotes deposition of liver glycogen

    Contraindications

    -systemic fungal infection

    Cautions

    -pregnancy and kids

    3/7

    Endocrine Drugs 3 of 7

    Insulin-Insulin is anabolic (it stores/builds up energy)-Insulin deficiency promotes hyperglycemia in 3 ways:

    1) incr. glycogenolysis (glycogen glucose)

    2) incr. glyconeogensis (protein/amino acids & lipids glucose)

    3) reduced glucose utilization (decr. cell uptake & decr. glucose glycogen)

    -All insulins clear and colorless except NPH. Discard insulin if it has precipitate

    -If have to give a short acting & long acting insulin mix the preparations ratherthan inject them separately.

    -ONLYmix R&N insulins together-Draw short acting insulin into syringe firstto avoid contamination of NPH vial.

    -Mixtures are stable for 28 days at room temp and 1 mo under refridg.

    -Insulin left out of the refrigerator is good for 1 month

    -All insulins can be given SQ because digestive enzymes would inactivate insulin

    -SQ injection sites are in the upper arm, thigh (slowest) & abdomen(fastest)(Rotate sites of injection q mo to reduce incidence of lipohypertrophy)

    Drug

    Pt teaching

    -give w/ meals (before or

    after) 30-60 min

    -rotate inj sites

    -SQ, IM, oral, IV*

    -can also cause further hypoglycemia by blocking glycogenolysis

    w/ insulin cause lower BP-Sulfonylureas, Meglitinides, Beta Blockers, Alcohol

    Counteract actions of insulin (cause hyperglycemia)-thiazide diuretics, glucocorticoids, sympathomimetics

    Misc-insulin needs are affected by stress, obesity, adolescent growth

    -insulin needs may decrease during pregnancy

    Fasting plasma glucose at least 8 hrs after meal.

    Normal < 100 mg/dl diabetes > 126 mg/dlCasual plasma glucose any time > 200 mg/dl but must also display signs & sx

    (polyuria, polydypsia, ketonuria & rapid wt. loss

    Oral glucose tolerance test used when first 2 test were not definitive. Giveglucose load of 75 g of glucose & measure plasma level 2 h later. Normal is < 140

    mg/dl diabetes if > 200 mg/dl

    -store in light resistance container

    -takes 6-12wks to see results

    -not protein bound

    -more potent & more toxic than PTU

    -long DOA (several weeks)

    -more effective than PTU, but many people have bad rxn so PTU is more common-dont use if pregnant or breastfeeding

    Beta Blockers (not a treatment)

    -usually Propranolol-for emergency, PO, IV

    -rapid onset (1hr)

    Important Note

    DOES NOT correct hyperthyroidism, ONLY controls the adrenergic effects of

    excessive thyroid hormone until slower-acting anti-thyroid medications can takeffect
