Prandin
3 customer reviewsWhat is it?
Prandin is the brand name for the drug repaglinide, which is used to control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin, which helps lower glucose levels after meals. The drug is taken by mouth before each meal and is part of a comprehensive approach to diabetes management that includes diet and exercise.
Composition
The main active ingredient in Prandin is repaglinide. Excipients include:- Dicalcium phosphate (anhydride)
- Microcrystalline cellulose
- Corn starch
- Meglumine
- Croscarmellose sodium
- Povidone
- Poloxamer
- Magnesium stearate
- Colloidal silicon dioxide
How to use?
Prandin should be taken orally before each main meal. It is usually recommended to take the drug 15 minutes before a meal, but the time may vary from immediately before a meal to 30 minutes before a meal. If you miss a meal, skip the corresponding dose of the drug; if you add an extra meal, add the corresponding dose. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and schedule to avoid the risk of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Regularly monitor your blood sugar levels and consult your doctor to adjust the dose if necessary.How does it work?
Prandin works by stimulating the pancreas to produce insulin. It closes the ATP-dependent potassium channels in the beta cell membrane, which leads to cell depolarization and opening of calcium channels. Increased calcium entry into the cell causes insulin secretion. This mechanism helps to lower blood sugar levels after meals, providing more effective glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.Indications
Prandin is indicated for improving glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is used as an adjunct to diet and exercise to lower blood sugar levels. The drug can be used either as monotherapy or in combination with other hypoglycemic agents such as metformin or thiazolidinediones if monotherapy does not provide sufficient glycemic control.Contraindications
Prandin is contraindicated in the following cases:- Type 1 diabetes mellitus
- Diabetic ketoacidosis
- Severe liver dysfunction
- Concomitant administration with gemfibrozil
- Hypersensitivity to repaglinide or any of the components of the drug

Prandin has helped me better control my glucose levels, especially after meals. However, sometimes I feel a little nauseous, but this does not stop me from continuing the treatment.
