Novonorm 0.5 mg Tablet contains Repaglinide (0.5 mg), which acts on your body as follows:

• Stimulates Insulin Release: Repaglinide actively encourages the release of insulin from your pancreas. This process involves closing ATP-dependent potassium channels in the β-cell membrane of pancreatic cells, leading to their depolarisation.

• Increases Intracellular Calcium: The depolarisation of β-cells opens calcium channels, which results in an influx of calcium. This increase in intracellular calcium then triggers the secretion of insulin.

• Glucose-Dependent Action: An essential aspect of Repaglinide's action is that it is glucose-dependent. This means it stimulates insulin release only when glucose is present in the body. Consequently, the effects of Repaglinide diminish when glucose concentrations are low.

• Store Novonorm 0.5 mg Tablet at a cool and dry room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Protect from light and moisture. Ensure the container is tightly closed after every use.

• Keep it out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• Use the medicine before its expiry date.

• Regular physical activity: Regular exercise aids in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, which is crucial when you are taking Novonorm 0.5 mg Tablet for managing type 2 diabetes.

• Balanced diet: Consuming a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help manage blood sugar levels effectively. A diet plan should be followed as advised by your doctor or a dietitian.
