Acarbose tablets
Acarbose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, a medicine used to help manage blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It works in the gut by slowing the breakdown of carbohydrate from food, which can reduce the rise in blood glucose after meals.

What to know about acarbose
Because acarbose acts on carbohydrates in the digestive system, digestive side effects such as wind, abdominal discomfort or diarrhoea can occur. If you experience troublesome symptoms, or have questions about taking acarbose alongside other diabetes medicines, seek advice from a healthcare professional. Do not alter your treatment without appropriate medical guidance.
