Product details of Glucobay 50mg

Glucobay 50mg is an oral antidiabetic medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains Acarbose, which works by delaying carbohydrate digestion and reducing post-meal blood glucose spikes. It is commonly prescribed along with diet and exercise to improve overall blood sugar control.

The main ingredient, Acarbose, reduces the digestibility of carbohydrates, thereby reducing the absorption of sugars that are broken down by digestive enzymes. “Glucobay 50mg” is used to improve postprandial hyperglycemia and impaired glucose tolerance, but both include diet and exercise therapy (postprandial blood glucose 2-hour value of 200 mg / dl or more) and insulin administration (fasting 140 mg / dl or more). It is used when the effect is not sufficient.

Effect of Glucobay 50mg

Glucobay 50mg helps control post-meal blood sugar levels by slowing carbohydrate digestion and glucose absorption in the intestines, supporting better diabetes management.
