Acarboz 50mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Description
Acarboz 50mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used to manage high blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps people whose blood sugar is not well controlled by diet and exercise alone or by other anti-diabetic medicines. The active ingredient in this tablet is acarbose, which works within your digestive system to slow down the breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose. This helps in preventing a sudden rise in blood sugar after meals and maintains better overall control of diabetes.
By controlling post-meal sugar spikes, Acarboz 50mg Tablet supports long-term blood sugar management. It reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney problems, nerve damage, and vision issues. It is typically prescribed in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular physical activity to achieve optimal results. Following your doctor’s instructions carefully is essential to get the maximum benefit from this medicine.
Acarboz 50mg Tablet works by blocking the action of enzymes in the intestine that convert complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. This slows the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream, helping maintain steady blood sugar levels throughout the day. It does not cause a sudden drop in blood sugar on its own, but it helps prevent large fluctuations when taken with meals.
It is important to take Acarboz 50mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually at the beginning of a meal. Skipping meals or irregular eating habits may reduce the effectiveness of the medicine. Continue to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and do not discontinue the medication without consulting your doctor. If you experience symptoms such as tiredness, dizziness, or stomach discomfort, please inform your healthcare provider.
Before starting Acarboz 50mg Tablet, inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions, such as liver problems, digestive disorders, or inflammatory bowel disease. Also, please share details of all other medications, herbal products, or supplements you are using to avoid potential interactions. With consistent use, proper diet, and healthy lifestyle habits, Acarboz 50mg Tablet can help you maintain stable blood sugar levels and support better diabetes management.
