Acarbose helps control blood sugar levels by slowing the digestion of carbohydrates in the body. It is primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes and may be combined with insulin or other oral diabetes medications as prescribed by your doctor.
Take Acarbose exactly as prescribed. Do not exceed the recommended dosage or duration. Typically, it should be taken with the first bite of a main meal unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Your dosage may need adjustment during illness, infection, or surgery. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication routine.
Monitor your blood sugar to avoid hypoglycemia, especially if you skip meals, exercise intensely, consume alcohol, or experience stress. Recognize the symptoms of low blood sugar:
Keep a supply of oral glucose (dextrose) on hand. Note that candy or table sugar may not be as effective as dextrose in raising blood sugar quickly. Ensure family and friends know how to assist in an emergency. Acarbose is part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes diet, exercise, and weight control. Use it consistently and refill your prescription before running out.
Avoid alcohol while taking Acarbose, as it can lower blood sugar and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Also, avoid taking digestive enzymes like pancreatin, amylase, or lipase with Acarbose, as they may reduce its absorption. Examples of enzyme-containing products include Arco-Lase, Cotazym, Donnazyme, Pancrease, Creon, and Ku-Zyme.
Seek emergency medical help if you experience signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat. Contact your doctor immediately if you notice liver-related symptoms, including:
Less serious side effects may include:
Report any unusual or bothersome side effects to your doctor.
Acarbose may interact with other medications that raise blood sugar, increasing the risk of hyperglycemia. These include:
This list is not exhaustive. Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking. Do not start new medications without consulting your doctor.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, but ensure it is consumed with a meal. If more than 15 minutes have passed since starting your meal, Acarbose may be less effective. Do not take it between meals or double the dose to make up for a missed one.
Seek emergency medical attention if you suspect an overdose. Symptoms may include bloating, gas, or stomach discomfort. Avoid consuming carbohydrates for 4 to 6 hours after an overdose.
Store Acarbose at room temperature in a tightly closed container, away from moisture and heat.
