Glucobay 50mg Tablet 100s (Box)

Glucobay 50mg Tablet is an oral antidiabetic medicine from the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor class, with acarbose as its active ingredient, taken by mouth to help manage blood sugar levels. Unlike some other diabetes medicines, it works locally within the gut rather than being absorbed into the bloodstream in large amounts, which is why its most noticeable side effects tend to be digestive, such as bloating, wind, or loose stools. If you're new to this medicine, it's genuinely useful to know that these tummy effects usually ease off as your digestive system adjusts over the first few weeks. You should also know that timing matters quite a bit with this one, since it needs to be taken right as you start eating for it to work as intended.

Dosage is individualised by your doctor, often starting low and increased gradually based on your response and tolerance; always follow your doctor's specific instructions rather than adjusting the dose yourself.

• Bloating or flatulence
• Abdominal discomfort
• Diarrhoea
• Nausea
• Loss of appetite
• Skin rash in rare cases
• Elevated liver enzymes with long-term use
• Rarely, allergic hypersensitivity reactions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, keeping the tablets in their original packaging. Keep out of reach and sight of children.

• Take with the very first bite of your meal, not before or after.
• Introduce the medicine gradually if your doctor recommends a step-up dose.
• Keep the tablets dry, away from bathroom humidity.
• Maintain a consistent meal schedule to support the medicine's effect.
• Check expiry dates regularly for ongoing prescriptions.
• Dispose of unused tablets responsibly through proper channels.

Take Glucobay 50mg Tablet at the very start of your main meal, swallowing it whole with a little water, or chewing it with the first mouthful of food as directed. Take it consistently with each main meal, and don't skip doses even if you feel your blood sugar is well controlled.

Glucobay 50mg Tablet generally remains stable for around 24 to 36 months when unopened. Check the expiry date printed on the packaging before use.

Acarbose 50mg.

Not suitable for individuals with a known hypersensitivity to acarbose, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal obstruction, or chronic digestive disorders affecting absorption. Use with caution in those with significant liver impairment, and it's generally not recommended for use in children under 18 years.

Alcohol may increase the likelihood of digestive side effects and should be discussed with your doctor before use. Certain medicines, including some diuretics and other blood sugar-lowering medicines, may interact with acarbose, so it's important to share your full medication list with your doctor or pharmacist before starting treatment.
