Contra-Indications:
Hypersensitivity Diabetic ketoacidosis with Type daibetes
Special precautions:
Hypoglycemia: Geriatric patients, malnourished patients, and those with adrenal or pitutiary insufficiency are more susesptible to the glucose lowering effect of these treatments.
The risk of hypoglycemia may be increased by strenuous physical excercise, ingestion of alcohol, insufficient calorie intake of an acute or chronic basis, or combinations with oral antidiabetic agents.
Hepatic impairment: Should be used with caution in patients with moderate-to-severe hepatic impairment because such patients have not been studied Loss of glycemic control
To maintain glycemic control during periods of stress(eg, fever, trauma, infection, surgery) temporarary discontinuation of nateglinide and administration of insulin may be required. The efficacy of nateglinide may be decreased over time.
Pregnancy and lactation:
Use of nateglinide during pregnancy and lactation is not recommended.

Pharmacology/ Pharmacokinetics:
Pharamacology:
Nateglinide which is a derivative of D-phenylanine is a non-sulfonylurea , insulin serectagogue. Like repaglinide, nateglinide belongs to the megalitinde class of oral hypoglycemic agents. It causes insulin secretion via the inhibition of the hypoglycemic agents.It causes insulin secretion via inhibition of the ATP-sensitive potassium channels in the pancreatic beta cells. Unlike other oral hypoglycemics agents, nateglinide stimulation results in a rapid onset and short duration of action. The latter effect decrease the incidence of sustained hypoglycemia.
Pharmacokinetics:
Following ingestion, gastrointestinal absorption is rapid, with a maximum plasma concentration occuring within one-half to two hours (tmax 1.5 +/- 1.1 hours). Neteglinide has a bioavailability of 73%. Peak drug effect is reached in two hours. The drug is highly protein bound(98%) . Absorption of nateglinde is delayed if ingested following a meal as compared to on an empty stomach. Nateglinde is extensively metabolised in the liver. Excretion of hepatic metabolites occurs primarily in the kidney.
Interaction with Food:
Absorption of nateglinde is delayed if ingested following a meal as compared to on an empty stomach.
Pregnancy and lactation:
Use of nateglinide during pregnancy and lactation is not recommended.
