About Short Bowel Syndrome-glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) analog.

The classification "Short Bowel Syndrome-glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) analog" is a compendial and clinical drug category encompassing synthetic peptide analogs of naturally occurring GLP-2.

Agents in this class, such as teduglutide, act as intestinal trophic factors by selectively binding and activating GLP-2 receptors to stimulate mucosal growth, increase intestinal villus height and crypt depth, and enhance gastrointestinal blood flow.

These pharmacodynamic effects significantly increase fluid and nutrient absorption in the remnant intestine.

The therapeutic class is indicated specifically for the treatment of short bowel syndrome in patients dependent on parenteral nutrition or intravenous fluid support, serving to reduce or eliminate the need for ongoing parenteral intervention.
