Information About Repaglinide

Repaglinide is a meglitinide used to treat type 2 diabetes by stimulating rapid, short-duration postprandial insulin secretion in Singapore. Available as a 0.5mg–2mg oral tablet taken two to four times daily within 15 minutes before each main meal, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Its meal-dependent rapid action allows flexible dosing — meals skipped mean the corresponding repaglinide dose is omitted, significantly reducing the hypoglycaemia risk associated with fixed-dose sulphonylurea regimens. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Repaglinide online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
