The goal of this journal entry is to analyze current and emerging evidence of pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic principles that are basic to the mechanism of action of antidiabetic drug classes.
- Choose four anti-diabetic drug classes providing one medication example each with doses and frequency. Include mechanisms of action, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and contraindication details. At least 7 points of content per drug.
- Identify and describe newer advancements or research relating to pharmacodynamic or pharmacokinetic principles and t antidiabetic drug Provide 2 examples.
- Include content on CYP450 chromosomes to better understand drug metabolism among different patient populations. Provides an example.
- Provide evidence based support for your stance using standard APA format.
