O diabetes melito tipo 2 (DM2) decorre de alteração na ação e secreção de insulina. A longo prazo, a elevação da glicemia promove dano microvascular, neuropatia e dano macrovascular, com consequente aumento da morbi-mortalidade destes pacientes. Nas últimas décadas, diversos ensaios clínicos clássicos demonstraram que intervenções terapêuticas específicas para corrigir a hiperglicemia e hipertensão arterial são capazes de prevenir ou retardar o avanço das complicações crônicas. Neste sentido, tratamento efetivo e da forma mais precoce possível deve ser oferecido a todos os pacientes com DM2. Fármacos antiobesidade e agentes orais, como a metformina, sulfonilureias, glinidas, tiazolidinedionas, inibidores da alfa-glicosidase, e os mais recentes fármacos incretinomiméticos e amilinomiméticos são apresentados nessa revisão, nos aspectos de mecanismos de ação, efeitos colaterais e contraindicações.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is caused by changes in the action and secretion of insulin. In the long term, increased glucose levels promote microvascular damage, neuropathy, and macrovascular damage, leading to higher morbidity and mortality in these patients. In recent decades, several clinical trials have demonstrated that specific therapeutic interventions to correct hyperglycemia and hypertension are able to prevent or delay the advance of chronic complications. In this sense, effective and early treatment should be offered to all patients with DM2. Antiobesity drugs and oral agents, such as metformin, sulfonylureas, glinides, thiazolidinediones, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, and the most recent drugs (incretin mimetics and amilin mimetics) are analyzed in the present review with regard to their mechanisms of action, side effects, and contraindications.
