Uses
Indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Not for use in type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Do not use if
Contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to nateglinide or its inactive ingredients.
Side effects
Hypoglycemia is the primary risk. Common adverse reactions (incidence ≥3%) include upper respiratory tract infection, back pain, flu symptoms, dizziness, arthropathy, and diarrhea.
Warnings
Administer immediately before meals; skip the dose if a meal is skipped to reduce hypoglycemia risk. No established evidence of cardiovascular benefit in reducing macrovascular outcomes. Use with caution in hepatic impairment.
How it works
Nateglinide is a glinide (phenylalanine derivative) that stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells by blocking ATP-sensitive potassium channels, causing membrane depolarization and calcium influx. It has a rapid onset and short duration, targeting postprandial hyperglycemia.
Storage
Store at controlled room temperature. Protect from moisture.
