Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Starlix (nateglinide) is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas. An overdose of Starlix can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) which can present with symptoms such as weakness, dizziness, confusion, tremors, sweating, palpitations, and even loss of consciousness. Hypertension and hypotension are not typical symptoms of a Starlix overdose, and hyperglycemia is the opposite of what this medication is intended to treat.
