The alpha-glucosidase inhibitor acarbose is a drug used to treat type II diabetes mellitus. It occasionally causes diarrhea. Acarbose related colitis has been reported. This note explains how such side effects may occur. Because of small intestine alpha-glucosidase inhibition, increased starch
Postprandial reactive hypoglycemia, early satiety and diarrhea are well-recognized side effects following full or partial gastrectomy or gastric bypass. It has only recently been realized, however, that patients with normal gastric anatomy may experience similar symptoms and signs due to primary
BACKGROUND
Zygophyllum album L. (Zygophyllaceae), commonly known as Bougriba, is widely used to treat diabetes, digestive tract spasm, and hypertension in folk medicine, in Tunisia.
OBJECTIVE
This study investigates the antidiabetic, antidiarrheal, and antihypertensive activities of the leaves of
In the current study, the potential of a novel combination of a galactomannan with acarbose (100 mg) was evaluated for attaining a desired hypoglycaemic effect over a prolonged period of time. Three major antidiabetic galactomannans viz., fenugreek gum, Boswellia gum, and locust bean gum were
OBJECTIVE
This 36-week multicenter double-blind placebo-controlled study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of acarbose, administered in conjunction with diet and insulin therapy, for the treatment of patients with type I diabetes.
METHODS
Acarbose was administered using a forced
BACKGROUND
Acarbose delays release of glucose from complex carbohydrates and disaccharides by inhibiting intestinal alpha-glucosidases, thereby attenuating postprandial increments in blood glucose and insulin. This multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study compared the efficacy and safety
The authors report a case report of rare disease interesting the digestive tract and often associated to the other gastrointestinal pathologies and/or pulmonary diseases and can be also associated to not gastrointestinal conditions such as collagen-vascular disease, transplantation, AIDS, use of
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether a forced titration of acarbose (from 50 to 300 mg three times daily) administered over a 24-week period, in conjunction with diet and insulin therapy, improves glycemic control and reduces daily insulin requirements in insulin-requiring type II diabetes.
METHODS
This
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of sitagliptin when added to the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and inadequate glycemic control on acarbose monotherapy.
This was a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial. Patients (N = 381) with T2DM
Numerous medications can trigger diarrhea. In some cases it is a common side effect, and the relationship is evident (e.g. acarbose, somatostatin analogs and antibiotics). When diarrhea does occur, the therapeutic benefit of the drug should be weighed against the negative results of the side effect.
BACKGROUND
Constipation is common in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus (DM); its prevalence is estimated as up to 60% among patients with diabetic neuropathy. Acarbose, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, has a beneficial role in controlling DM, although one of its side effects is diarrhea. This
Only few controlled studies have been conducted on the influence of additive treatment with the glucosidase inhibitor acarbose on post-prandial blood sugar levels in insulin-dependent diabetics. To date, the behavior of blood sugar levels under treatment with acarbose has not been studied in
OBJECTIVE
To determine the degree to which alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, with their unique mode of action primarily reducing postprandial hyperglycemia, offer an additional therapeutic approach in the long-term treatment of type 2 diabetes.
METHODS
We studied 1,946 patients (63% men) who were
Acarbose is a competitive inhibitor of the intestinal alpha-glycosidases, that can delay absorption of intestinal carbohydrates causing their malabsorption. In the present paper we studied the effects of insulin, acarbose and their association on glomerular basement membrane thickening in
OBJECTIVE
To assess the efficacy of acarbose monotherapy during 12-weeks treatment on the fasting glycemic level, lipid and lipoproteins profiles, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
METHODS
Type 2 diabetics were selected from out patient department of Baqai Diabetes and Endocrine Centre, and
