Question 3

When is the best time to take Precose tablets?

Accepted Answer

To work effectively, Precose tablets must be taken at the very beginning of each main meal. This timing allows the medication to properly inhibit the digestion of carbohydrates from that meal, thereby helping to control post-meal blood sugar spikes.

Question 4

Is acarbose (Precose) the same as metformin?

Accepted Answer

No, acarbose (Precose) and metformin are not the same, though both are first-line oral medications for type 2 diabetes. Metformin reduces the glucose production in the liver, often leading to weight loss. On the other hand, Acarbose specifically targets post-meal blood sugar by delaying carbohydrate digestion in the small intestine.

Question 5

When to stop acarbose (Precose)?

Accepted Answer

You should stop taking acarbose if you become pregnant or are breastfeeding. You should also consult your healthcare professional immediately. It is also common practice to temporarily discontinue the medication before undergoing any surgical procedures. You should never stop taking your medication without first discussing it with your doctor.

Question 6

How quickly does acarbose (Precose) work?

Accepted Answer

While acarbose begins working to slow carbohydrate digestion from the first dose, its full therapeutic effect on blood sugar levels is not immediate. It typically takes approximately 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use to reach its maximum efficacy.
