How does Prandin Works? 

Prandin mechanism of action is by stimulating the natural release of insulin by the pancreas to lower blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes is when the pancreas produces a tiny amount of insulin or the insulin produced is not recognized by the body, building a high sugar level. This medication works to treat symptoms of type 2 diabetes by acting directly in pancreatic cells to stimulate insulin release; repaglinide induces an early insulin secretion curve in every meal, thus decreasing postprandial blood glucose level. The use of this medication should be accompanied by proper diet and exercise. This medication is also used to prevent risks of stroke, heart attack, losing limbs, blindness, kidney damage, nerve problems, and sexual function problem.  

Prandin Dosage

Make sure to follow how your doctor prescribes the meal plan, exercise, and dose to attain the best result. The dose given will be based on medical condition, other medication being taken, and body response. Prandin 2mg is the highest strength. The usual dose is 0.5mg to 4mg taken 30 minutes before each meal; it can be administered 2 to 4 times depending on the number of meals per day as long as the maximum dose per day is 16mg. In case of skipping a meal, skip the dose as well and wait for the next meal to intake the dose. A missed dose should be left and proceed to the next meal for the next intake; double dosing is discouraged from filling the missed one.

Prandin and Metformin

Both medicines are used to treat symptoms of type 2 diabetes but have a different active ingredient that helps regulate blood sugar. Prandin with repaglinide stimulates the natural production of insulin by the pancreas. Metformin with biguanide works by decreasing the amount of sugar made by the liver and lessening the sugar intake by the stomach and intestine. This medication is prescribed to be taken with metformin if metformin alone does not satisfactorily control the symptoms of type 2 diabetes.
