Pramlintide
Price range: $143.00 through $264.00
Pramlintide (Pramlintide) is a variant of human pancreatic amyloid polypeptide, mainly used for treating diabetes. It helps control blood sugar levels by slowing down the gastric emptying rate and inhibiting the secretion of post-meal glucagon. Additionally, Pramlintide has the effect of suppressing appetite, which is beneficial for weight reduction. It plays a significant role in diabetes management and has shown potential therapeutic value in the research of colorectal cancer.
Description
What is pramlintide?
Pramlintide is a man-made form of a hormone that occurs naturally in the body. Pramlintide lowers blood sugar in three ways. It slows the rate that food moves from your stomach to your intestines, which keeps your blood sugar from rising too fast. Pramlintide also lowers the amount of glucose (sugar) your liver produces. Lastly, pramlintide triggers the feeling of fullness after meals to help control your appetite and decrease how much food you eat.
Pramlintide is used together with insulin to treat type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Pramlintide is usually given after other diabetes medicines have been tried without success.
Pramlintide may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
