Starlix (nateglinide) tablets are typically taken three times daily, before meals. Each dose should be taken within 30 minutes of the start of a meal to ensure optimal absorption. Don’t take Starlix if you’re not planning to eat. The usual starting dose is 120 mg per dose, but your doctor might adjust this based on your individual needs and response to treatment. They may increase the dose gradually, up to a maximum of 180 mg per dose, three times daily.
Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions carefully. Never exceed the prescribed dose. Missed doses should not be doubled; simply take your next scheduled dose as usual. If you consistently forget doses, talk to your doctor about strategies to improve adherence to your medication schedule. Proper storage is also crucial: keep your Starlix tablets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
