Precose, also known as Acarbose, is used in conjunction with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in individuals with type 2 diabetes. 

The focus on controlling high blood sugar is crucial for preventing a range of serious complications associated with diabetes, including kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems.

Acarbose works in the intestines to slow the breakdown and absorption of carbohydrates from the foods consumed. This effect helps to moderate the rise in blood sugar levels after a meal, contributing to the overall control of blood sugar throughout the day and after eating.

Do’s

  • Take Precose exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, typically 3 times daily with the first bite of your main meals.
  • Follow your healthcare provider's instructions carefully, especially regarding the starting dose and any gradual increases.
  • Take Precose consistently at the same times each day to maximize its effectiveness.
  • Inform your healthcare provider if your blood sugar control improves or worsens while taking Precose.

Don'ts

  • Don't take Precose at any other time than with the first bite of a meal.
  • Don't skip doses or take more medication than prescribed.
