1, drug price
The price of acarbose tablets will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, and the price of local pharmacies is much more expensive than that of online pharmacies. Acarbose is the main component of Pingping, which is mainly used to treat type 2 diabetes. These drugs act on the intestine, decompose polysaccharide and sucrose, and reduce the blood sugar concentration in the intestine. Capopine can be taken with insulin, usually before meals. It should be noted that in addition to taking carbomer strictly according to the doctor's advice, you should also control your eating habits, don't eat sugary food, and don't eat sugary food after taking the medicine. Adverse reactions such as mild abdominal distension and abdominal pain may occur after taking carbomer, but these are normal phenomena.
If you think carbomer and acarbose tablets are expensive, you can recommend buying them in online pharmacies, where the prices are generally higher than those in 44 yuan.
2. What is the effect?
This medicine can effectively lower blood sugar because its ingredient is acarbose. As a typical biosynthetic pseudotetrasaccharide, it can effectively inhibit the activity of glucosidase, make it gradually degrade polysaccharides and disaccharides in the intestine, and also slow down the absorption rate into the blood, thus achieving the purpose of lowering blood sugar. In particular, the blood sugar concentration will be significantly reduced after meals, from which we can see what the role of acarbose capsules is.
3. Pay attention to medication
However, this medicine generally needs to be carried out with dietotherapy, so you should avoid eating sugary food during taking the medicine and swallow it whole before eating it. According to the specific situation of each patient, the dosage is also different. You can take 50mg at first, and you can increase it appropriately if the condition is serious. However, if you take too much medicine, you are prone to flatulence or diarrhea, abdominal pain and other adverse reactions. At this time, you need to consider reducing the dose.
First of all, pregnant women and lactating women can't take acarbose capsules, because the drug resistance of infants is far less than that of adults. At the same time, acarbose capsules belong to diet therapy for diabetes and need to be taken before meals. In addition, no one can take acarbose capsules for a long time. If you take it for a long time, the side effects of acarbose capsules will be more obvious.
4. Side effects
Common problems are flatulence, discomfort or frequent bowel sounds, severe diarrhea, and even abdominal pain in very few patients. And if you don't control your diet, the side effects of acarbose capsules may be aggravated. If you still have severe discomfort after dieting, you should consult your doctor in time and reduce the dose and frequency temporarily or for a long time. Allergic patients and friends should not take it, because skin allergies such as erythema and urticaria may occur.

In order to ensure good curative effect, it is usually taken after meals.
