GLUCOBAY-25
₹95.50
Glucobay 25 Tablet is a prescription antidiabetic medication containing acarbose (25mg) as its active ingredient. It is used to lower blood sugar levels after meals in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, often in combination with other diabetes treatments.
Uses and Benefits
Glucobay 25 helps manage blood glucose stability and reduce the risk of long-term diabetes complications like kidney damage, blindness, and nerve problems.
- Type 2 Diabetes Treatment: Manages blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone are insufficient.
- Post-Meal Sugar Control: It works by slowing down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the small intestine, which prevents blood glucose levels from rising very high immediately after meals.
Key Information
- Administration: The tablet should be swallowed whole with water or chewed with the first few bites of your main meal.
- Timing: It is usually taken three times daily, at the start of each main meal, as directed by your doctor.
- Consistency: Do not skip doses or stop taking the medicine without consulting your doctor, as this can increase your blood sugar levels and the risk of complications.
- Lifestyle: This medication is part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, and regular blood sugar monitoring using a home test kit.
- Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar): If you experience hypoglycemia (shaky, anxious, confused), consume a fast-acting source of sugar like fruit juice or candy. Avoid meals containing carbohydrates for the next 4-6 hours if more than the recommended dose is taken, as it may increase flatulence and diarrhea temporarily.
Common Side Effects
Most side effects are generally mild, especially during the first few weeks, and should improve over time.
- Flatulence (gas)
- Stomach pain or abdominal discomfort
- Diarrhea
- Headache or dizziness
- Constipation
Important Warnings
- Allergies: Do not use if you are allergic to acarbose.
- Gastrointestinal Issues: Avoid if you have severe liver disease, inflammation or ulceration of the intestine (Crohn’s disease), or intestinal obstruction.
- Monitoring: Your doctor may advise regular liver enzyme monitoring while on this medication.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use with caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding; consult a doctor.
