Composition and mechanism of action
Acarbose (Latin name Acarbosum) - a polymeric carbohydrate containing a small amount of simple sugar, easily soluble in liquid.
The substance is synthesized through biochemical processing under the influence of enzymes. Additionally raw material is Actinoplanes utahensis.
Acarbose hydrolyzes polymeric carbohydrates by inhibiting the enzyme reaction. Thus, the level of formation and energy absorption of sugar in the intestine is reduced.
This helps stabilize blood glucose levels. The drug does not activate the production and secretion of recommend hormone insulin by the pancreas and does not allow a sharp decrease in blood sugar. Regular medication reduces the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease, and the progression of diabetes.
The absorption of the substance (absorption) is not more than 35%. The concentration of a substance in the body occurs in stages: primary absorption occurs within one and a half hours, secondary (absorption of metabolic products) - in the range from 14 hours to one day.
With the syndrome of complete functional impairment of the kidneys (renal failure), the concentration of the drug substance increases five times, in people aged 60+ - 1.5 times.
The drug is eliminated from the body through the intestines and urinary system. The time interval of this process can be up to 10-12 hours.
Instructions for use
The use of acarbose involves a long course of therapy. Tablets should be drunk at least a quarter of an hour before a meal.
