Uses & overview
Natiglumide 60 is an oral prescription medicine containing Nateglinide 60 mg as its active ingredient. It is used to help control blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, alongside a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Nateglinide belongs to a class of medicines called meglitinides. It works by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin, particularly around mealtimes, helping the body manage the rise in blood sugar after eating. The medicine is generally prescribed as part of an individualised diabetes management plan. Natiglumide 60 may be prescribed when dietary changes and exercise alone are not sufficient to maintain the desired blood glucose levels. Depending on the patient's condition, a healthcare professional may recommend it alone or in combination with other diabetes medicines.
