Gatifloxacin induced abnormalities in glucose homeostasis in a patient on glimepiride.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gatifloxacin, a commonly prescribed antimicrobial can produce profound hypoglycemia and disturbances in glucose homeostasis especially in diabetes patients on sulphonylureas. Also new onset disturbances in glucose homeostasis can occur in patients who were unaffected by the previous use of gatifloxacin. Therefore it is suggested that gatifloxacin is better avoided in patients with diabetes and in the elderly.

Advancing age and renal impairment as important predisposing factors of gatifloxacin-induced hyperglycemia in non-diabetes patients.
There have been case reports about adverse effects to glucose homeostasis related to gatifloxacin use. The authors report an elderly, non-diabetic patient who developed severe hyperglycemia after receiving oral gatifloxacin 400mg/d. He was a 73-year-old male, patient with a history of hypertension, cured vesical pheochromocytoma, idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, chronic renal insufficiency (b...
متن کاملGlimepiride Promotes Osteogenic Differentiation in Rat Osteoblasts via the PI3K/Akt/eNOS Pathway in a High Glucose Microenvironment
Our previous studies demonstrated that glimepiride enhanced the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and led to activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway. Recent genetic evidence shows that endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) plays an important role in bone homeostasis. In this study, we further elucidated the roles of eNOS, PI3K and Akt in bone formation by osteoblasts induced by gli...
متن کاملEffects of Vanadyl Sulphate on Glucose Homeostasis in Severe Diabetes Induced by Streptozotocin in Rats
Background: There is not any in vivo studies that shows inducing of euglycemia by vanadyl is independent from plasma insulin. Therefore in the present study we planned to investigate the antidiabetic effects of vanadyl in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Rats became severely diabetic by an IV injection of 50-55mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ), 15 days after the injection, the blood glucose of ...
متن کاملRole of Pioglitazone with Metformin or Glimepiride on Oxidative Stress-induced Nuclear Damage and Reproductive Toxicity in Diabetic Rats.
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress due to improper control of blood glucose in chronic diabetes plays a major role in the development of secondary complications including cancer and birth defect. The aim of this study is to evaluate the protective effect of combination of pioglitazone with metformin or glimepiride against the experimental type-2 diabetes induced nuclear damage and reproductive toxicit...

Type -2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex syndrome originated by a multifactorial pathogenesis. Restoration of a normal glycaemia is very difficult and requires a multiple medication with different mechanismsof action that can be used in combination to produce an additive effect. Bromocriptine (BC) is a sympatholytic D2 dopamine agonist which can be used as an anti-diabetic agent with a nov...
