PRANDIN (Repaglinide)

Drug Uses Prandin is primarily used in treating type II diabetes. Prandin is used along with a proper diet and exercises in order to reduce the blood sugar levels in adult patients whose blood sugar cannot be reduced otherwise. You may use it for treating other condition if prescribed by your doctor. Usage Following the dosage instructions of your doctor is the best way to use any medication. If you are unsure or do not remember the instructions then you may read the medicine label for more detailed information. You should take Prandin 15-30 minutes before taking a meal. In case you are skipping a meal skip the dosage of Prandin and if you are adding a meal you should add the dosage of Prandin. Please drink a full glass of water with Prandin. It is very important that you complete the dosage schedule and do not interrupt it in between without seeking prior consultation from your doctor. Taking your medication at the same time each day is a tried and tested method to avoid missing any doses. Missed Dose Despite your best attempts at remembering, if you still miss out on a dose, then take it as soon as you remember about it. But keep in mind that you will have to adjust your next dose by spacing it out by 4 to 5 hours. If this is not possible, then the best thing to do would be to skip the missed dose and continue with your normal dosage schedule. Never try to compensate for the missed dose by taking a double dose together. It may cause adverse effects. Storage Store Prandin at room temperature (read medicine label if unsure). Always keep it in a cool dark place that is not directly exposed to sources of heat or moisture and sunlight. Protect it from kids and pets.
