Synonyms/Brands: Precose, precose, Acarbose, Acarbosa, Glucobay, acarbose, glucobay, Acarbosum
An inhibitor of alpha glucosidase that retards the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the small intestine and hence reduces the increase in blood-glucose concentrations after a carbohydrate load. It is given orally to non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus patients where diet modification or oral hypoglycemic agents do not control their condition.
