Glucobay 25 Tablet contains acarbose (25 mg), which works as follows:

• Inhibits Enzymes: Acarbose works by inhibiting pancreatic alpha-amylase and intestinal alpha-glucoside hydrolase enzymes in your body.

• Slows Carbohydrate Digestion: By inhibiting these enzymes, acarbose slows down the digestion of carbohydrates into glucose in your intestines.

• Reduces Blood Sugar: Slower carbohydrate digestion results in less glucose being absorbed into the bloodstream after meals, effectively reducing post-meal spikes in blood sugar levels.

• Lowers HbA1c Levels: Acarbose's overall effect is lower blood glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Lower HbA1c levels mean better long-term control over diabetes.

• Store Glucobay 25 Tablet in a tightly closed container.

• Protect the medicine from light and moisture; avoid keeping it in damp areas like the bathroom.

• Keep it out of sight and reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• Since Glucobay 25 Tablet helps manage Type 2 diabetes, it's beneficial to follow a balanced diet low in sugars and refined carbohydrates. This can assist your body in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
