Full Prescribing Info
Dosage/Direction for Use
The recommended usual dose of GLUFAST for adults is 10 mg three times daily just before meals. The dose should be increased/decreased according to symptoms.
Precautions: Administering GLUFAST orally after meals results in decreased efficacy due to diminished absorption. To lower the blood glucose level after the meals effectively, GLUFAST should be administered just before meals (within 5 min). However, because of its rapid action after administration, when administered 30 min prior to meals, blood insulin levels increase 15 min before meal and could result in hypoglycemia at the start of meals.
