Novonorm tab(Repaglinide) Usage Guide: Benefits and Side Effects

Novonorm, Repaglinide is an oral medication used to control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs known as meglitinides, which work by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps lower blood sugar levels by allowing sugar (glucose) to enter cells from the bloodstream.

Mechanism of Action
Repaglinide stimulates the beta cells in the pancreas to release insulin. This process is glucose-dependent, meaning that it responds to blood sugar levels, making it an effective way to reduce postprandial (after-meal) blood sugar spikes. Unlike some other diabetes medications, repaglinide's action is rapid and of short duration, which helps in closely mimicking the natural insulin response to meals.

Common Uses
Primarily used to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes.
Often prescribed in combination with other diabetes medications or lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) to achieve better blood sugar control.

Dosage Instructions
Repaglinide is typically taken 15 to 30 minutes before a meal, usually 3 times a day. The starting dose can vary, but it often begins at 0.5 mg or 1 mg per dose, with adjustments made based on the individual's blood sugar response. It's important to follow the healthcare provider's instructions for timing and dosage to ensure the best control of blood sugar levels.

Benefits
Provides flexible dosing options since it's taken before meals.
Reduces the risk of postprandial blood sugar spikes.
Can be used alone or in combination with other diabetes medications.
Rapid action allows for better control of mealtime blood sugar levels.

Potential Side Effects
While repaglinide is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Weight gain.
Headache.
Joint pain.
Nausea.
It's important to monitor blood sugar levels regularly and discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider.
