Starlix (active ingredient: nateglinide) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Starlix is used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise.

Starlix belongs to a class of drugs known as meglitinides, which work by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin in response to meals, thereby helping to lower blood sugar levels after eating.

Nateglimide comes in the form of tablets that should be taken by mouth, 1 to 30 minutes before each main meal, as directed by a doctor, usually three times daily. Do not take a dose of the medication if you are skipping that meal or if you are going to eat a meal less than 30 minutes after taking the tablet.

You should also follow the meal plan and exercise program recommended by your doctor. Monitoring your blood sugar levels regularly and sharing the results with your doctor is also important to determine the correct dose. If your blood sugar measurements are too high or too low, you should inform your doctor so that your treatment plan can be adjusted accordingly.

The recommended dosage of Starlix (nateglinide) can vary depending on the individual patient’s needs and medical history. Typically, the starting dosage for Starlix is 120 mg taken orally three times daily, within 30 minutes before meals. However, the exact dosage and frequency of administration may be adjusted by a physician based on factors such as the patient’s blood sugar levels and response to treatment. Follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare professional, and never take more or less of the medication than prescribed.

  • Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia): Starlix can cause low blood sugar levels, especially if you skip a meal or take too much medication. Symptoms of low blood sugar may include headache, dizziness, shakiness, sweating, confusion, and blurred vision. Regularly monitor your blood sugar levels and be aware of the signs of low blood sugar.
  • Liver disease: Starlix is processed by the liver, so it may not be recommended for people with liver problems. Your doctor may need to adjust your dosage or monitor your liver function more closely.
  • Allergic reactions: Some people may experience an allergic reaction to Starlix or other similar medications. Symptoms may include rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing, and dizziness. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms.
  • Pregnancy and breast-feeding: It is not known if Starlix is safe for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding.
  • Kidney problems: Starlix may not be recommended for people with kidney problems. Your doctor may need to adjust your dosage or monitor your kidney function more closely.
  • Interactions with other medications: Starlix may interact with other medications, including some antibiotics and medications used to treat high blood pressure. It is important to tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking, including prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and any supplements or herbal remedies.
  • Alcohol consumption: Drinking alcohol while taking Starlix can increase the risk of low blood sugar. Limit your alcohol intake or avoid alcohol altogether while taking Starlix.

How long does it take for Starlix to start working?

Starlix works quickly to improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. The medication typically starts working within 20 minutes of taking a dose, and its effects can last for up to 4 hours.

How should I store Starlix?

Store Starlix at room temperature in a dry place away from heat and light. Do not store the medication in the bathroom or near the kitchen sink, as moisture can affect its effectiveness.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Starlix?

If you miss a dose of Starlix, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.

Can Starlix be used for type 1 diabetes?

No, Starlix is not recommended for use in people with type 1 diabetes, as it works by improving insulin sensitivity and may not be effective in people who do not produce enough insulin on their own.
