How does Repaglinide work?

Repaglinide belongs to the class of drugs called oral hypoglycaemic agents. This drug acts by stimulating the insulin release from the pancreas. This action is produced by opening the calcium channels in the intracellular spaces, which enhances the release of insulin. This drug helps in lowering the glucose levels during the meals, but a long-term treatment is required for effective glycaemic control.
