Acarbose (25mg) & ACARBZONE 25 :Online at Upto 30% OFF

Introduction to Acarbose 25 mg

Acarbose is a prescription oral antidiabetic medication used primarily to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly in patients struggling with postprandial (after meal) hyperglycemia. ACARBZONE 25 is formulated with Acarbose 25 mg, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that delays carbohydrate digestion and absorption in the intestines, thereby minimizing sharp rises in blood glucose levels after meals.

Mechanism of Action

Acarbose works by inhibiting the alpha-glucosidase enzymes located in the small intestine. These enzymes are responsible for breaking down complex carbohydrates (like starch) into glucose. By slowing this process, Acarbose reduces the rate of glucose absorption, preventing sudden spikes in blood sugar after meals.

Indications – Uses of Acarbose Tablets IP 25 mg

ACARBZONE 25 is primarily indicated for:

• Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) – especially in patients who experience high postprandial blood sugar levels

• As monotherapy or in combination with sulfonylureas, metformin, or insulin

• Suitable for overweight patients with insulin resistance

• Used in dietary-controlled diabetic individuals not responding adequately to diet alone

Dosage & Administration

• Initial Dose: Acarbose 25 mg (1 tablet) thrice daily, taken with the first bite of each main meal

• Dose may be increased gradually based on patient response and tolerance

• Maximum recommended dose: 100 mg thrice daily

Important: Acarbose must be taken at the start of a meal to be effective.

How to Take ACARBZONE 25

• Swallow the tablet whole with water at the beginning of a meal

• Alternatively, chew the tablet with the first few mouthfuls of food

• Do not skip meals when on Acarbose therapy

Side Effects of Acarbose 25 mg Tablets

Most side effects are gastrointestinal and dose-related. Common side effects include:

• Flatulence (gas)

• Abdominal discomfort

• Diarrhea

• Bloating

• Mild skin rash (rare)

These effects are due to fermentation of undigested carbohydrates in the colon and usually improve over time or with dose adjustment.

Hypoglycemia is rare with Acarbose alone but may occur when used with insulin or sulfonylureas.

Precautions and Warnings

• Avoid in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal obstruction, or chronic digestive disorders

• Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment

• Liver enzymes (AST, ALT) should be monitored during long-term therapy

• Pregnancy & Lactation: Use only if clearly needed under medical supervision

• Not recommended in children under 18 years due to insufficient data

Drug Interactions

• Antacids, digestive enzymes, and activated charcoal may reduce the efficacy of Acarbose

• May enhance effects of sulfonylureas or insulin, increasing hypoglycemia risk

• Diuretics, corticosteroids, and thyroid products may reduce glycemic control
