Prandin (active ingredient: repaglinide) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  • Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Prandin is used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Prandin belongs to a class of drugs known as meglitinides, which work by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, thereby lowering blood glucose levels.

Prandin, or repaglinide, is administered orally in tablet form and is usually prescribed to be taken 2 to 4 times daily or as directed by your physician. Take Prandin within 30 minutes prior to each meal, followed by a full glass of water. Do not take Prandin if you are skipping a meal.

To achieve optimal results, take Prandin regularly and exactly as advised by your doctor. Do not discontinue using the tablet even when you feel better to avoid complications or worsening of your condition. Follow a well-balanced diet and engage in regular exercise as recommended by your physician, as taking medication is only one aspect of managing diabetes.

The recommended dosage range for Prandin (repaglinide) is 0.5 mg to 4 mg taken with meals, with a maximum daily dose of 16 mg. The patient’s dose should be doubled up to 4 mg with each meal until their blood sugar is controlled. However, the dose should not exceed 6 mg per day if co-administered with other medications that can affect blood sugar levels.
