Q: what is nateglinide drug?

A: Nateglinide (INN, trade name Starlix) is a drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Nateglinide was developed by the Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis.

Nateglinide belongs to the meglitinide class of blood glucose-lowering drugs.

[edit] Pharmacology
Nateglinide lowers blood glucose by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas. It achieves this by closing ATP-dependent potassium channels in the membrane of the β cells. This depolarizes the β cells and causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open. The resulting calcium influx induces fusion of insulin-containing vesicles with the cell membrane, and insulin secretion occurs.

[edit] Dosage
Nateglinide is delivered in 60mg & 120mg tablet form.
