WHAT ENYGLID IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Enyglid is an oral antidiabetic medicine containing repaglinide which
helps your pancreas produce
more insulin and thereby lower your blood sugar (glucose).
TYPE 2 DIABETES is a disease in which your pancreas does not make
enough insulin to control the sugar
in your blood or where your body does not respond normally to the
insulin it produces.
Enyglid is used to control type 2 diabetes in adults as an add-on to
diet and exercise: treatment is
usually started if diet, exercise and weight reduction alone have not
been able to control (or lower)
your blood sugar.
Enyglid can also be given with metformin, another medicine for
diabetes.
Enyglid has been shown to lower the blood sugar, which helps to
prevent complications from your
diabetes.

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Repaglinide is given preprandially and is titrated individually to
optimise glycaemic control. In
addition to the usual self-monitoring by the patient of blood and/or
urinary glucose, the patient's blood
glucose must be monitored periodically by the physician to determine
the minimum effective dose for
the patient. Glycosylated haemoglobin levels are also of value in
monitoring the patient's response to
therapy. Periodic monitoring is necessary to detect inadequate
lowering of blood glucose at the
recommended maximum dose level (i.e. primary failure) and to detect
loss of adequate blood-glucose-
3
lowering response after an initial period of effectiveness (i.e.
secondary failure).
