What is a generic medication?

Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Starlix Helps Treat the Following Conditions:

Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes occurs in adults whose bodies cannot produce insulin properly. It is characterized by an inability of the pancreas to produce enough insulin to keep blood glucose at normal levels.

If untreated, high blood glucose can cause a number of serious complications, including skin, eye and kidney damage, as well as an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

People who follow a treatment course of exercise, proper diet, and medication can successfully manage their glucose blood levels and live long, productive lives without serious complications.

Starlix Active Ingredient

Generic Starlix Alternative: Starlix

Starlix contains the active ingredient nateglinide. Starlix stimulates the body to produce more insulin, a natural hormone which is essential for the body’s ability to break down glucose.

General Drug Information

What Starlix Is and What It’sUsed For

Starlix is prescribed to patients with type 2 diabetes. Together with proper diet and exercise, Starlix helps patients control their high blood sugar levels.

Controlling blood sugar is essential in preventing complications that are associated with diabetes. These include blindness, kidney damage, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual dysfunction. Proper control of diabetes may also reduce a patient’s risk of heart attack or stroke.

Usage and Application

Before sourcing Starlix online, patients should read the medication guide provided by their doctor or pharmacist.

Patients are usually directed to take three oral doses daily. Starlix should be taken no earlier than 30 minutes before meals. The dosage depends on a patient’s medical condition, response to treatment, and the number of meals they eat per day.

Patients who skip a meal should not take Starlix beforehand. Those having liquid meals may need to take a higher dose of Starlix to better control blood sugar levels. Patients should consult their doctor for more information.

It is important to use Starlix regularly in order to get its full benefit. Patients should carefully adhere to the treatment plan, meal plan, and exercise program prescribed by their doctor.

In order to determine the correct dose of medication, patients should check their blood sugar regularly and share their results with their doctor. Patients whose blood sugar readings are too high or too low may need to have their treatment plan adjusted.

Considerations Before Taking Starlix

If you shop for Starlix online, note that you may encounter the drug under its generic name nateglinide.

Before starting treatment, patients should alert their doctor if they are allergic to Starlix.

Patients should discuss their medical history, especially related to kidney disease, liver disease, and gout.

Starlix may cause blurred vision, dizziness, or drowsiness due to extremely low or high blood sugar. Patients should not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness or clear vision until they are sure they can perform such activities safely. Alcohol use increases the risk of developing low blood sugar and should be avoided.

Patients may find it more difficult to control their blood sugar during times of physical stress caused by fever, infection, injury, or surgery. Such patients may need to have their treatment plan adjusted by their doctor.

During pregnancy, Starlix should only be used when clearly needed. Pregnant women should discuss a new plan for managing blood sugar with their doctor.

Pregnancy may cause or worsen diabetes. Women should discuss the risks and benefits of different treatments – like diet, exercise, and medications including insulin – with their doctor. The treating physician may recommend changes to a woman’s diabetes treatment plan during pregnancy.

It is not known whether Starlix passes into breast milk, so new mothers should consult their doctor before breastfeeding.

Delayed and Omitted Doses

Patients who miss a dose of Starlix should skip it and take the next dose with their next meal. Patients should not double their dose to catch up.

Other Medications and Starlix

Drug interactions may change the way Starlix works, increasing the risk of side effects. Before starting treatment, patients need to discuss the full list of medications and supplements they are taking with their doctor. Patients should not change their dose or stop taking this medication unless their physician advises them to do so.

A number of medications can affect blood sugar levels, making them harder to control. Examples include corticosteroids like Deltasone or Rayos, psychiatric medicines like Zyprexa, and fluoroquinolone antibiotics such as Cipro.

Patients should check their blood sugar regularly and share the results with their doctor. The treating physician should immediately be informed about any symptoms of high or low blood sugar. Patients who experience such symptoms may need to have their diabetes medication, exercise program, or diet adjusted.

Many non-prescription drugs – like cough-and-cold products – contain ingredients that affect blood sugar. Patients should check the labels of all non-prescription drugs and discuss the safe use of such products with their pharmacist.

Beta-blocker medications (e.g. Lopressor and Inderal) and glaucoma eye drops (e.g. Timoptic) may mask some symptoms of low blood sugar, like fast or pounding heartbeat. However, other symptoms – dizziness, hunger, or sweating – remain unaffected by these drugs.

Certain medications can affect a patient’s laboratory results, especially urine tests for sugar or ketones. Patients should consult their doctor or pharmacist for more information.

Adverse Reactions

Many patients are able to use Starlix without experiencing serious side effects.

Common side effects include weight gain and upper respiratory infection. Patients should contact their doctor or pharmacist if these effects persist or worsen.

Less frequent side effects include diarrhea, dizziness, back pain, cough, flu-like symptoms, bronchitis, and arthritis.

Starlix can cause low blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia. This is especially the case if the medication is taken with other diabetes medicines. Other factors that contribute to hypoglycemia include consuming large quantities of alcohol, not getting enough calories from food, and doing unusually heavy exercise.

Hypoglycemia symptoms include chills, cold sweat, dizziness, drowsiness, shaking, hunger, fast heartbeat, weakness, headache, fainting, and tingling of the hands or feet.

Patients should get in the habit of carrying glucose tablets or gel to treat low blood sugar. Eating a quick source of glucose (e.g. table sugar, honey, candy) or drinking a glass of fruit juice or non-diet soda will also help to quickly treat hypoglycemia.

If a patient misses a meal, they should have a plan of action that is approved by a doctor or pharmacist.

Symptoms of high blood sugar (or hyperglycemia), include thirst, increased urination, confusion, drowsiness, flushing, rapid breathing, and fruity breath odor. Patients need to inform their doctor immediately if they experience any hyperglycemic symptoms. Such patients may need to have their diabetes medication(s) adjusted.

In rare cases, Starlix can cause urticaria, skin rash, and pruritus of skin. A very small number of patients may develop jaundice or cholestatic hepatitis. Starlix may rarely cause abnormal hepatic function laboratory tests.

Serious allergic reactions to Starlix are rare, yet patients should be aware of symptoms including rash, itching and swelling, severe dizziness, and trouble breathing.

This is not a complete list of possible side effects. Patients should contact their doctor or pharmacist in the event of any other side effects not listed above.

How to Store Starlix

Starlix should be stored at room temperature, away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep away from children and pets.

Unwanted medication should be disposed of properly and should not be poured into drains or flushed down the toilet. Patients should consult a pharmacist or their local waste disposal company to find out more about safe disposal methods.
