NovoNorm 1 mg Tablet is used for the following:

• Assisting in the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: This medicine helps to control blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone aren't enough.

To get the most benefit from NovoNorm 1 mg Tablet, you should follow these guidelines:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew it.

• If you skip a meal, remember to skip the corresponding dose of this medicine too.

NovoNorm 1 mg Tablet is taken orally.

NovoNorm 1 mg Tablet contains Repaglinide (1 mg). This active ingredient works in the following ways:

• Stimulates Insulin Secretion: Repaglinide stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin, particularly in response to meals. This helps to lower the level of glucose in the blood after meals.

• Binds to ATP-dependent Potassium Channels: By binding to these channels on the pancreatic beta-cell membrane, Repaglinide reduces potassium conductance, leading to depolarisation of the beta cells. This results in the opening of calcium channels.

• Triggers Calcium Ion Influx: The depolarisation causes an influx of calcium ions. This, in turn, stimulates the secretion of insulin, helping to manage blood glucose levels.

• Store NovoNorm 1 mg Tablet in a cool, dry place away from the reach of children.

• Avoid exposing the medicine to direct sunlight or moisture.

• Always check the expiry date before using the medication.

• Regular exercise: Incorporate physical activities such as walking or cycling into your daily routine. This can help manage blood sugar levels effectively along with NovoNorm 1 mg Tablet.

• Balanced diet: Focus on a diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Limit intake of sugary foods and drinks as they could spike your blood glucose levels.
