WHAT NOVONORM IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
NovoNorm is an
_oral antidiabetic medicine containing repaglinide_
which helps your pancreas
produce more insulin and thereby lower your blood sugar (glucose).
TYPE 2 DIABETES
is a disease in which your pancreas does not make enough insulin to
control the
sugar in your blood or where your body does not respond normally to
the insulin it produces.
NovoNorm is used to control type 2 diabetes in adults as an add-on to
diet and exercise: treatment is
usually started if diet, exercise and weight reduction alone have not
been able to control (or lower)
your blood sugar. NovoNorm can also be given with metformin, another
medicine for diabetes.
NovoNorm has been shown to lower the blood sugar, which helps to
prevent complications from your
diabetes.

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Repaglinide is given preprandially and is titrated individually to
optimise glycaemic control. In
addition to the usual self-monitoring by the patient of blood and/or
urinary glucose, the patient’s
blood glucose must be monitored periodically by the physician to
determine the minimum effective
dose for the patient. Glycosylated haemoglobin levels are also of
value in monitoring the patient’s
response to therapy. Periodic monitoring is necessary to detect
inadequate lowering of blood glucose
at the recommended maximum dose level (i.e. primary failure) and to
detect loss of adequate blood
glucose-lowering response after an initial period of effectiveness
(i.e. secondary failure).
Short-term administration of repaglinide may be sufficient during
periods of transient loss of control
in type 2 diabetic patients usually controlled well on diet.
Initial dose
The dosage should be determined by the physician, according to the
patient’s requirements.
The recommended starting dose is 0.5 mg. One to two weeks should
elapse between titration steps (as
determined by blood glucose response).
If patients are transferred from an
