1. WHAT REPAGLINIDE ACCORD IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Repaglinide Accord 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.
Repaglinide Accord 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. Repaglinide Accord can also be given with
metformin, another medicine
for diabetes.
Repaglinide Accord 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 res
