PeriodonticsGingival enlargement, or overgrowth, is a known side effect associated with several classes of medications: Anticonvulsants: Drugs like phenytoin, used to treat epilepsy, commonly cause gingival enlargement. Immunosuppressants: Cyclosporine, often used in organ transplant patients (e.g., renal transplantation), is strongly associated with gingival overgrowth. Calcium Channel Blockers: Certain medications for hypertension, such as nifedipine, can induce gingival enlargement. Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) typically do not take medications that cause this specific side effect. Therefore, a patient with COPD is the exception

Its primary function is to stimulate insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta cells, which helps regulate postprandial blood glucose levels. It also inhibits gastric acid secretion and gastric emptying.

Physiology
Sympathetic activity enhances sodium and water reabsorption in the PCT (proximal convoluted tubule) through increased activity of sodium pumps and sodium-potassium-2-chloride cotransporters, which helps in fluid and electrolyte retention.
