Frequently asked questions about AC Fresh Products
Frequently asked questions about Acarbose
Q. Does AC Fresh Liquid cause hypoglycemia?
AC Fresh Liquid does not cause hypoglycemia by itself though it has a glucose-lowering effect. However, a fall of blood sugar levels in the hypoglycemic range may occur when given along with other antidiabetic medicines or insulin. If this occurs, consult your doctor who may modify your dose accordingly.
Q. Why does AC Fresh Liquid cause flatulence?
AC Fresh Liquid blocks the digestion of carbohydrates which causes the accumulation of undigested carbohydrates in the colon. Bacterial fermentation of the accumulated carbohydrates causes intestinal gas, leading to flatulence and abdominal pain.
Q. Can AC Fresh Liquid cause diarrhea?
Yes, diarrhea is a common side effect of AC Fresh Liquid. However, this does not affect everybody. Any food containing carbohydrates, such as household sugar (cane sugar) can cause diarrhea and severe abdominal pain. If diarrhea persists or becomes severe, then contact your doctor immediately.
Q. When should AC Fresh Liquid be taken?
AC Fresh Liquid should be taken with your meals and should be swallowed whole with water or chewed with the first mouthful of food. The initial dose of AC Fresh Liquid is generally twice daily. The dose is then gradually increased to thrice daily.
Q. What if I forget to take AC Fresh Liquid?
If you forget to take a dose of AC Fresh Liquid, do not take the missed dose between meals. Wait for the scheduled dose and meal and continue taking your tablets as prescribed. Do not take the dose twice to make up for your forgotten tablets.
Q. What will happen if more than the recommended dose of AC Fresh Liquid is taken?
