What is Glyset

Glyset, with the active ingredient miglitol, belongs to the group of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, which slow down the process of carbohydrate breakdown in the intestine, resulting in the disappearance of peaks and thus a more regular rise in blood glucose levels after meals.

Indications

The drug is used to treat type 2 diabetes in combination with diet and exercise.

Contraindications for use

As with other drugs, Glyset has certain contraindications. These include hypersensitivity to the active substance or any other component of the product, type 1 diabetes, ketoacidosis, chronic intestinal diseases, infections of the stomach and intestines, peritonitis and impaired renal or hepatic function. The medicine should not be used during pregnancy and breast-feeding.

Remember that only your doctor can determine whether this medicine is suitable for you and prescribe the correct dose, taking into account all your individual circumstances (diseases, allergies, medicines you are taking).

Side effects

Glyset is well tolerated by patients, but may cause side effects such as gas, diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, headaches and tremors. In some cases, Glyset may cause a drop in blood sugar levels (hypoglycaemia), so patients taking this medicine should always monitor their blood glucose levels and check them regularly with a glucose meter.

In case of serious adverse reactions, including those not mentioned above, consult your doctor immediately.

Method of Administration and Dosage

The tablets should be taken with meals and plenty of water. The medicine is normally taken 3 times a day, but you should follow your doctor’s instructions and take the exact dose prescribed by your doctor. During treatment, the dosage may be changed depending on the results of blood glucose tests.
