Composition:
Acarbose 50mg
Indication:
A convenient and effective long-term option for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes
Description:
Acarbose 50mg is an oral alpha-glucosidase inhibitor used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly for managing postprandial (after-meal) blood glucose levels. It works by inhibiting the enzymes that break down complex carbohydrates in the small intestine, thereby delaying glucose absorption. This leads to a gradual rise in blood sugar, preventing spikes that typically occur after meals.
Acarbose is especially effective when used in conjunction with diet and exercise and can be combined with other oral antidiabetic agents or insulin for improved glycemic control. It acts locally in the gut and is minimally absorbed systemically, which helps reduce systemic side effects.
