NovoNorm\u00a0contains repaglinide<\/em>\u00a0and is an\u00a0oral tablet for the treatment of\u00a0diabetes<\/em>.\u00a0NovoNorm helps your\u00a0pancreas\u00a0to produce more\u00a0insulin\u00a0and lower your blood sugar (\u00a0glucose\u00a0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Type 2 diabetes<\/strong> is a disease in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to control the level of sugar in your blood or where your body does not respond normally to the insulin it produces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NovoNorm is used to control type 2\u00a0diabetes\u00a0in adults as a supplement to diet and exercise.\u00a0Treatment is usually started if diet, exercise and weight loss alone are not enough to control (or lower) your blood sugar.\u00a0NovoNorm can also be given with\u00a0metformin, another diabetes medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NovoNorm lowers blood sugar, which helps prevent complications of your\u00a0diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to your doctor before taking NovoNorm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to your doctor<\/strong> if any of the above apply to you. Then you may not be treated with NovoNorm, but your doctor will advise you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not take this medicine if you are under 18 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you get an insulin sensation (low blood sugar)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You get insulin sensation ( hypoglycaemia ) if your blood sugar gets too low.

It can have the following causes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The warning signs of high blood sugar<\/strong>\u00a0gradually appear.\u00a0They manifest as: increased urine output;\u00a0thirst;\u00a0dry skin and\u00a0dry mouth.\u00a0Talk to your doctor.\u00a0Dose\u00a0a NovoNorm, diet or exercise may need to be adjusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor<\/strong> or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can take NovoNorm with\u00a0metformin, another diabetes medicine if your doctor tells you to.\u00a0If you are taking gemfibrozil (for the treatment of high blood fats), you should not take NovoNorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your body may react differently to NovoNorm if you take other medicines, especially these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alcohol may alter NovoNorm’s ability to lower blood sugar. Pay attention to signs of insulin sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before using this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should not take NovoNorm if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should not take NovoNorm if you are breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your ability to drive or use machines may be affected if your blood sugar is too high or too low. Remember that you can put yourself and others at risk. Talk to your doctor if you can drive if you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you.\u00a0Consult a doctor if you are unsure.\u00a0Your doctor will determine your\u00a0dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not take more NovoNorm than your doctor has prescribed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you take too many tablets, your blood sugar may become too low and lead to insulin sensation. See If you get an insulin sensation<\/em> for more information on what this is and how it is treated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you miss a\u00a0dose, take the next\u00a0dose\u00a0as usual – do not take a double\u00a0dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep in mind that you will not get the desired effect if you stop taking NovoNorm.
