Top 200 Drugs Podcast – Medications 116-120

In this episode of the Top 200 Drugs Podcast, I cover glyburide, citalopram, olmesratan, carvedilol, and tiotropium.

Glyburide is a sulfonylurea that is well known to cause hypoglycemia and weight gain because it stimulates the pancreas to increase insulin release.

Citalopram is an SSRI most well known for its potential to increase the risk for QTc prolongation. It has a notorious drug interaction with omeprazole

Olmesartan is an ARB that can be used for hypertension. Hyperkalemia is an electrolyte imbalance that can be caused by its use.

Carvedilol is one of the few beta-blockers with significant alpha-blocking and beta-blocking activity. I discuss what this means in this Top 200 drugs podcast.

Tiotropium is an anticholinergic medication that can open the airway. It is most commonly used for COPD.
