Summary Introduction

Glinides is a class of antidiabetic drugs and the popular Glinides drugs are nateglinide (Starlix) and repaglinide (Prandin). This drug is used to treat type-2 diabetes mellitus. Prandin has a similar action as sulfonylureas but both have different structures. This drug was given along with meals because it acts only for a short period of time. It increases the pancreatic secretion of insulin.
