Acarbose
Acarbose is an oral medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called alpha-glucosidase inhibitors.
Acarbose works by slowing down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the small intestine. It does this by inhibiting the action of an enzyme called alpha-glucosidase, which is responsible for breaking down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. By slowing down carbohydrate digestion, acarbose helps to control blood sugar levels after meals, preventing spikes in glucose levels.
