Frequently asked questions about Glystal Products
Frequently asked questions about Acarbose
Q. Does Glystal 50mg Tablet cause hypoglycemia?
Glystal 50mg Tablet does not cause hypoglycemia by itself though it has a glucose-lowering effect. However, a fall of blood sugar levels in the hypoglycemic range may occur when given along with other antidiabetic medicines or insulin. If this occurs, consult your doctor who may modify your dose accordingly.
Q. Why does Glystal 50mg Tablet cause flatulence?
Glystal 50mg Tablet blocks the digestion of carbohydrates which causes the accumulation of undigested carbohydrates in the colon. Bacterial fermentation of the accumulated carbohydrates causes intestinal gas, leading to flatulence and abdominal pain.
Q. Can Glystal 50mg Tablet cause diarrhea?
Yes, diarrhea is a common side effect of Glystal 50mg Tablet. However, this does not affect everybody. Any food containing carbohydrates, such as household sugar (cane sugar) can cause diarrhea and severe abdominal pain. If diarrhea persists or becomes severe, then contact your doctor immediately.
Q. When should Glystal 50mg Tablet be taken?
Glystal 50mg Tablet should be taken with your meals and should be swallowed whole with water or chewed with the first mouthful of food. The initial dose of Glystal 50mg Tablet is generally twice daily. The dose is then gradually increased to thrice daily.
Q. What if I forget to take Glystal 50mg Tablet?
If you forget to take a dose of Glystal 50mg Tablet, do not take the missed dose between meals. Wait for the scheduled dose and meal and continue taking your tablets as prescribed. Do not take the dose twice to make up for your forgotten tablets.
Q. What will happen if more than the recommended dose of Glystal 50mg Tablet is taken?
