Acarbose can cause liver problems. You can look up Miglitol here: rxlist.com Susan >Anybody taking Miglitol? >Any major side effects? Other than [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Why is it not more commonly prescribed? Acarbose and Miglitol inhibit the digestion of carb. Some of the carb tends to ferment in the stomach. Both "squash" blood sugar peaks but you pay with bloating and intestinal gas. Some folks find it terribly distressing; others don't. I used it for a few years. Didn't notice unacceptable bloating and didn't mind the intestinal gas. But I worked in a chemical plant so it was easier to deal with then most folks might find. YMMV Regards Old Al |
