Glucobay 25 Tablet – Product Description

Glucobay 25 Tablet is a prescription medicine designed to help manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by slowing the digestion of carbohydrates, preventing sharp spikes in blood glucose after meals. Glucobay 25 Tablet is typically prescribed alongside other diabetes medications as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

How Glucobay 25 Tablet Works

Glucobay 25 Tablet belongs to the class of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. It blocks enzymes in the intestines that break down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars like glucose. By controlling post-meal blood sugar surges, it helps maintain steadier glucose levels throughout the day.

Key Benefits

Complements a healthy diet, exercise, and weight management for improved diabetes control

Recommended Usage

Take Glucobay 25 Tablet just before or with the first few bites of a meal.
Follow the dosing schedule prescribed by your doctor; doses may be gradually increased for optimal effect.
Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush, chew, or break it.
Regular blood sugar monitoring is advised while using this medication.

Common Side Effects

Most patients tolerate Glucobay 25 Tablet well. Temporary gastrointestinal effects may occur as your body adjusts:

Mild stomach discomfort
Gas or bloating

When combined with other diabetes medications such as insulin or sulfonylureas, Glucobay may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). If this occurs, treat it with plain glucose rather than common sugar.
