Nateglinide

Nateglinide is used to treat people with type 2 diabetes. It is used alone, or in a combination, to control high blood sugar levels, along with an effective diet and exercise routine. This way, it also helps to prevent kidney damage, blindness, loss of limbs, nerve problems, and sexual dysfunctions. It also reduces the risk of experiencing heart attacks and strokes. It works by stimulating the body to produce increased amounts of insulin to reduce blood sugar levels. This medication is administered orally, and is available in the form of tablets.

Weight gain is an observed side effect of Nateglinide. You must monitor your blood sugar levels regularly, so that your physician is able to regulate your dosage as per your body’s needs. Nateglinide can cause low blood sugar especially if used in a combination with other medicines. Increased consumption of alcohol, decreasing the number of calories obtained from food, and doing uncommonly heavy exercises without taking in the required amount of calories can also result in low blood sugar levels. Symptoms include chills, dizziness, weakness, headaches, fast heartbeat and hunger.

Do not take Nateglinide if you are allergic to any of its components. Inform your doctor of your allergies.
