PRODUCT DETAILS
About Misobit 50 Tablet
MIGLITOL belongs to a class of anti-diabetic medications used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone. MIGLITOL 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 cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose get into your cells to give them energy. Without insulin, too much glucose stays in your blood. Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, which is also known as adult-onset diabetes.
MIGLITOL contains Miglitol that works by inhibiting intestinal enzymes that breaks complex sugars into simple sugars like glucose. Thus, MIGLITOL helps in preventing a very high rise in blood sugar levels immediately after meals.
Take MIGLITOL as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take MIGLITOL for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience stomach pain, diarrhoea and gas. Most of these side effects of MIGLITOL do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to MIGLITOL or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. MIGLITOL is not recommended for children below 18 years of age. Avoid breastfeeding while taking MIGLITOL as it may be excreted in human milk. If you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy, please inform your doctor before taking MIGLITOL. Avoid alcohol consumption with MIGLITOL as it may decrease blood sugar levels. Drive only if you are alert after taking MIGLITOL as it may cause low blood sugar levels in some patients. Take short, frequent meals and avoid prolonged fasting when taking MIGLITOL. Beware of hypoglycemia symptoms (low blood sugar), including sweating, dizziness, palpitations, shivering, intense thirst, dry mouth, dry skin, frequent urination, etc. Whenever you experience any of these symptoms, immediately consult your doctor.
