What is Miglitol?

Miglitol is a member of the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors drug class and is commonly used for Type 2 diabetes. Alpha-glucosidase is one of the enzymes responsible for breaking down carbohydrates to smaller sugar particles like glucose, in order for the carbohydrates to be absorbed. Drugs in the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors work by competitive and reversible inhibition of these intestinal enzymes. They slow the digestion of carbohydrates and delay glucose absorption. This results in a smaller and slower rise in blood glucose levels following meals, and effectively throughout the day.

Miglitol may not be safe for you if you have inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's), a blockage in your intestines, a chronic intestinal disorder that affects digestion, or a stomach disorder that causes excess gas. It is important to note that miglitol should not be used if you are in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis. If you are 18 years or older, Miglitol should not be used. Talk to your healthcare provider about other age-appropriate medications.
