PHARMACOTHERAPEUTIC GROUP Other blood glucose lowering drugs, excl. insulin. MANUFACTURER Novo Nordisk A/S Novo Allé DK-2880 Bagsværd, Denmark THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Repaglinide is indicated in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus whose hyperglycaemia can no longer be controlled satisfactorily by diet, weight reduction and exercise. Repaglinide is also indicated in combination with metformin in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are not satisfactorily controlled on metformin alone. Treatment should be initiated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to lower the blood glucose in relation to meals. POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION POSOLOGY Repaglinide is given preprandially and is titrated individually to optimise glycaemic control. In addition to self-monitoring by the patient of blood and/or urinary glucose, the patient’s blood glucose should 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 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 Soma hati kamili

The recommended starting dose is 0.5 mg. One to two weeks should elapse between titration steps (as determined by blood glucose response).
