Engylid is an oral hypoglycemic drug used in the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus. This agent belongs to a new class of drugs known as meglitinides and can be used to lower blood glucose, either as monotherapy or in combination with metformin. Although Engylid acts similarly to other antidiabetic drugs, it is not chemically related to any of the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (eg, acarbose), biguanides (eg, metformin), or sulfonylureas (eg, glipizide). Engylid is the only drug that has a rapid onset and short duration of action that, when taken just before meals, replicates physiological insulin profiles.

People also ask

What is Engylid?

Engylid (Prandin) is an oral antidiabetic that contains repaglinide which helps your pancreas make more insulin and lower your blood sugar (glucose).

Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to control the level of sugar in the blood or in which the body does not respond normally to the insulin it produces (formerly known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes start at maturity). Prandin is used to control type 2 diabetes and as a supplement to diet and exercise: Treatment should be started if diet, exercise, and weight reduction alone have not been sufficient to control (or decrease) the level of blood sugar. Prandin can also be taken together with metformin, another diabetes medicine.

How does it work?

Engylid works by closing the membrane-dependent ATP-dependent potassium channels of ß-pancreatic cells, via a different target protein from other secretagogues, depolarizing them and causing the opening of Ca channels. Increased Ca flow stimulates the secretion of insulin from ß-cells.

What are the benefits of taking it?

Prandin tablet uses include being utilised for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, whose hyperglycemia cannot be controlled only with diet and exercise. Engylid is also indicated in combination with metformin in patients who do not respond adequately to a single medication. Treatment with Engylid must be complemented with diet and exercise.

How do I use it and its dosage?

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again. It is very important that you continue to take this medicine for as long as your doctor prescribes it. The doctor will calculate your Prandin tablet dose. This diabetes medication is to be taken orally.

Normally, the starting dose is 0.5 mg taken just before each main meal. The tablets should be taken with a glass of water just before or within 30 minutes before each main meal.

The dose can be adjusted by your doctor up to 4 mg
