Premeal 0.5 MG Description

Premeal 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 p

ancreas 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. Premeal Tablet contains repaglinide as the active substance. It works by reducing blood sugar levels and controlling type 2 diabetes. Premeal 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 Premeal Tablet, inform your doctor if you are pregnant/breastfeeding and about your complete medical history.
