Product Description

Acarbose is an oral medication primarily used to manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It works by delaying the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the small intestine, thereby reducing post-meal blood glucose spikes. Acarbose is a complex oligosaccharide that inhibits pancreatic alpha-amylase and membrane-bound intestinal alpha-glucoside hydrolase, enzymes involved in carbohydrate breakdown.
