Glucobay 50 Tablet 10's belongs to a class of anti-diabetic drugs called alpha-glucosidase inhibitors used to treat type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone.

Glucobay 50 Tablet 10's may be used alone or in combination with other medicines. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) condition that affects the way our body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or the insulin produced is unable to perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, so it is also known as adult-onset diabetes.

Glucobay 50 Tablet 10's contains 'Acarbose' that works by inhibiting the action of intestinal enzymes that break down complex sugars and starches into simple sugars. Thereby, delays the absorption of sugar into the blood and reduces the abnormal rise in blood sugar levels after meals.

Take Glucobay 50 Tablet 10's with food and chew it preferably with the first bite of each meal or swallow it as a whole with little water. Do not crush or break it.
