Acarbose (Precose)

Acarbose is a medication used for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, a condition where the body struggles to effectively use insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels. It is usually prescribed alongside a proper diet and regular exercise and sometimes in combination with other diabetes medications.

Arcabose is an oral medication belonging to the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor class of drugs. The primary role of acarbose is to control the spike in blood sugar levels that typically occurs after eating.

It works by targeting the digestive process, specifically slowing down the activity of the enzyme alpha-glucosidase in the intestines. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down carbohydrates into glucose, the sugar that enters our bloodstream.

Doing so helps slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates which helps prevent spikes in blood sugar levels after meals.

In the United States, acarbose is available under the following brand names:

  • Precose

Common side effects associated with acarbose may include:

  • Stomach discomfort
  • Bloating or gas
  • Diarrhea
  • Mild skin rash or itching

More serious side effects which should be reported to your healthcare provider immediately may include:

  • Severe constipation
  • Stomach pain
  • Severe diarrhea
  • Rectal bleeding
  • Persistent nausea or vomiting
  • Unusual bleeding
  • Easy bruising
  • Liver problems

When used together with insulin or other medication used to treat diabetes acarbose may cause dangerously low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). Signs of low blood sugar levels may include dizziness, sweating, confusion, weakness, rapid heartbeat, and blurred vision. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical attention right away.

The above lists of possible side effects associated with Acarbose are not exhaustive and other side effects may occur. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects while taking Acarbose, it is important to contact your healthcare provider right away.
