WHAT STARLIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT STARLIX IS
The active substance of Starlix, nateglinide, belongs to a group of
medicines called oral antidiabetics.
Starlix is used to treat adult patients with type 2 diabetes. It helps
to control the level of sugar in the
blood. Your doctor will prescribe Starlix together with metformin, if
inadequately controlled despite a
maximally tolerated dose of metformin.
HOW STARLIX WORKS
Insulin is a substance produced in the body by the pancreas. It helps
to decrease blood sugar levels,
especially after meals. If you have type 2 diabetes, your body may not
start producing insulin quickly
enough after meals. Starlix works by stimulating the pancreas to
produce insulin more quickly, which
helps to keep blood sugar levels under control after meals.
Starlix tablets start to act within a very short time after they are
swallowed and are eliminated from the
body rapidly.
