Metformin + Miglitol

Uses

How Metformin and Miglitol work Metformin and Miglitol is a combination of two antidiabetic medications: Metformin and Miglitol. Metformin enhances the body's ability to utilize insulin, decreases glucose absorption from the intestine, and reduces glucose production in the liver. Miglitol inhibits the intestinal enzymes responsible for breaking down complex sugars into simple sugars, such as glucose. This action helps prevent blood glucose levels from rising significantly after meals.

How it Works

Common side effects of Metformin and Miglitol include nausea, loss of appetite, changes in taste, stomach pain, flatulence, diarrhea, and skin rash.

Expert Advice

  • Take it with food to reduce the risk of an upset stomach.
  • It can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) when used with other antidiabetic medications, alcohol, or if you delay or miss a meal.
  • Always carry some sugary food or fruit juice with you in case you experience hypoglycemia symptoms such as:
    • Cold sweats
    • Cool, pale skin
    • Tremors
    • Anxiety
  • Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while taking this medication.
  • Inform your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms:
    • Deep or rapid breathing
    • Persistent nausea
    • Vomiting
    • Stomach pain
  • Metformin + Miglitol may cause a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis, which is an excess of lactic acid in the blood.
