GLP-1 Analogs Mnemonic for Medicine & USMLE

Study this GLP-1 Analogs mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize.

GLP-1 Analogs are a class of drugs that include exenatide and liraglutide. These drugs are used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus by lowering blood sugar levels. As their name suggests, these drugs work by imitating the actions of GLP1 in the body, which stimulates glucose-dependent insulin release and decreases glucagon release. These drugs also decrease gastric emptying and increase satiety. A common side effect of these drugs is nausea and vomiting, while a much rarer side effect is pancreatitis. The GLP1 analogs are also known to cause weight loss in patients. Finally, these drugs typically do not cause hypoglycemia in patients.
