Product information
About
Glucobay 50 contains acarbose, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor marketed by Zydus. The higher strength is used in type 2 diabetes to soften the sugar spike after meals.
Uses
- Type 2 diabetes
- Reducing post-meal sugar rise
- Combination therapy support
- Adjunct to lifestyle changes
How it works
Acarbose blocks enzymes in the small intestine that break down starches and table sugar, slowing how fast glucose enters the bloodstream after a meal.
How to take
Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually chewed with the first bite of a main meal or swallowed whole with a sip of water. Stick to your prescribed diabetes diet.
Side effects
- Flatulence
- Loose motions
- Abdominal cramps
- Mild liver enzyme rise in some users
Precautions
Not suitable for people with certain bowel diseases, severe kidney issues or cirrhosis. Use pure glucose, not sucrose, to treat any low sugar episode.
Storage
Store below 25 degrees Celsius in a dry place. Keep in the original strip, away from light and out of reach of children.
