Repaglinide is a medication used in addition to diet and exercise for blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes. [1] The mechanism of action of repaglinide involves promoting insulin release from β-islet cells of the pancreas; like other antidiabetic drugs, a main side effect concern is hypoglycemia. [1]
Repaglinide caused an increased incidence in male rats of benign adenomas (tumors) of the thyroid and liver. [2] No such effect was seen with another drug of this class, nateglinide. [ 3 ]
Onset of action is the duration of time it takes for a drug's effects to come to prominence upon administration. With oral administration , it typically ranges anywhere from 20 minutes to over an hour, depending on the drug in question.
A study funded by Novo Nordisk, the U.S. distributor for Repaglinide, compared their product with Nateglinide in "A randomized, parallel-group, open-label, multicenter 16-week clinical trial". [1] They concluded that the two were similar, but "repaglinide monotherapy was significantly more effective than nateglinide monotherapy in reducing ...
[25] [26] [27] The clinical significance of this action is unclear, but it may be relevant to the effects and side effects of selegiline, especially at higher doses. [ 25 ] [ 26 ] [ 27 ] With regard to pharmacokinetics, the bioavailability of the oral form is 4 to 10%, [ 2 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] of the ODT is 5 to 8 times that of the oral form, [ 9 ...

“The TSA team at Newark set a record for the most guns intercepted at our checkpoints in a single year,” said Thomas Carter, TSA’s security director for New Jersey.
They have fast onset and offset kinetics, meaning that they have little or no effect at slower heart rates, and more effects at faster heart rates. Class Ib agents shorten the action potential duration and reduce refractoriness. These agents will decrease V max in partially depolarized cells with fast response action potentials. They either do ...
