Product Overview
About Repaglinide Accord
Repaglinide Accord is a medicine that contains the active substance repaglinide. It is available as round tablets (0.5 mg, 1 mg and 2 mg). Repaglinide Accord is a ‘generic medicine’. This means that Repaglinide Accord is similar to a ‘reference medicine’ already authorised in the European Union (EU) called NovoNorm.
What it is used for
Repaglinide Accord is used in patients who have type-2 diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes). It is used together with diet and exercise to lower blood glucose (sugar) levels in patients whose hyperglycaemia (high blood glucose levels) cannot be controlled by diet, weight reduction and exercise. Repaglinide Accord may also be used with metformin (another anti-diabetes medicine) in type-2 diabetes patients whose blood glucose levels are not satisfactorily controlled on metformin alone. The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription.
How it is used
Repaglinide Accord is taken before meals, normally up to 15 minutes before each main meal. The dose is adjusted to give the best control. A doctor should regularly test the patient’s blood glucose to find the lowest effective dose. Repaglinide Accord can also be used for type-2 diabetes patients whose blood glucose levels are usually controlled well on diet, but are experiencing temporary loss of blood glucose control. The recommended starting dose is 0.5 mg. This dose may need to be increased after one or two weeks. If patients are transferred from another anti-diabetes medicine, the recommended starting dose is 1 mg. Repaglinide Accord is not recommended for patients below 18 years of age because of a lack of information on safety and effectiveness in this age group.
How it works
Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which the pancreas does not make enough insulin to control the level of glucose in the blood or when the body is unable to use insulin effectively. Repaglinide Accord helps the pancreas to produce more insulin at mealtimes and is used to control type-2 diabetes.
