Confirm normal renal function before starting and monitor (esp. in patients ≥80years). Monitor blood glucose, hepatic function, hematology (esp. serum Vit. B12 levels). Discontinue if lactic acidosis, shock, acute MI, sepsis, or hypoxemia occurs. Suspend therapy if dehydration occurs and before surgery. Stress. Uncompensated strenuous exercise, malnourished or caloric deficiency, adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, or acute alcohol intoxication: increased risk of hypoglycemia. Elderly. Debilitated.

Repaglinide may be potentiated by CYP2C8/3A4 inhibitors (eg, trimethoprim, ketoconazole, clarithromycin, deferasirox), OATP1B1 inhibitors (eg, cyclosporine); may need to reduce PrandiMet dose. Repaglinide may be antagonized by CYP2C8/3A4 inducers (eg, rifampin). Avoid excessive alcohol. Increased risk of hypoglycemia with alcohol, sulfonylureas, insulin. β-blockers may mask hypoglycemia.
