Novonorm 0.5 MG Description
Novonorm Tablet is an anti-diabetic medication. It is used to lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes along with diet and exercise. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a condition where your
pancreas does not make enough insulin to control your blood sugar levels and your body is unable to efficiently use its own insulin. This causes high blood sugar levels in your body, which can cause certain medical problems like heart diseases. Novonorm Tablet contains repaglinide as the active substance. It works by reducing blood sugar levels and controlling type 2 diabetes. Novonorm Tablet should only be used in adults older than 18 years of age. Take this medicine in the exact dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking this medicine on your own. Before starting Novonorm Tablet, inform your doctor if you are pregnant/breastfeeding and about your complete medical history.
