ACARBOZ 50 TABLET 10 contains one active ingredient – Acarbose (50 mg). This component acts on your body in the following ways:

• Slows Carbohydrate Digestion: Acarbose reduces the speed at which your body digests carbohydrates. It does this by inhibiting specific enzymes in your small intestine.

• Reduces Glucose Absorption: By slowing digestion, Acarbose reduces the amount of glucose your body absorbs from each meal. This helps prevent high spikes in your blood sugar levels after eating.

• Lowers Blood Glucose Levels: Over time, Acarbose helps to lower post-meal blood glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. This makes it an effective management tool for type 2 diabetes.
