Prescription Required.Why?
Is the active ingredient in this medication.
Repaglinide is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (noninsulin-dependent diabetes).
It helps control blood sugar levels in adults.
Sarapid 0.5mg Tab (Repaglinide) is a meglitinide analog that stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas. It works by increasing the sensitivity of the beta cells in the pancreas to glucose, leading to a greater release of insulin in response to elevated blood sugar levels. This helps to lower blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Store repaglinide at room temperature, between 68-77°F (20-25°C). Protect it from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep repaglinide and all medications out of reach of children and pets.
The dosage of repaglinide varies depending on individual needs and response to treatment.
Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage for you.
Repaglinide is typically taken 15-30 minutes before a meal.
It should be taken with food to help prevent low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Common side effects may include:
Serious side effects are less common, but can include:
Headache
