Patient was educated on precautions to be exercised while taking Prandin as follows:
- If the blood sugar is too low, despite eating regularly and without skipping a meal, you can defer taking Prandin for that dose and notify your doctor regarding the same.
- Keeping a track of frequency of episodes of low blood sugars, despite eating regularly, can help your physician revise your dose on Prandin.
- Also, notify your doctor, if the blood sugar continues to be high, despite taking the Prandin as recommended, so that, your medication dose could be revised.
- If a dose is missed, it should be taken at the earliest notice of noncompliance. Report the noncompliance to your physician. If it is time for the next dose, the missed dose can be skipped. Compensating for the missed dose by taking an extra dose can pose serious risk for an episode of extremely low blood sugars, thus precipitating an emergency.
