Acarbose（Cat No.:A000183）is an oral anti-diabetic medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by inhibiting alpha-glucosidase enzymes in the small intestine, delaying the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, which helps to lower postprandial blood glucose levels. Acarbose is particularly effective when used in conjunction with diet and exercise or other diabetes medications. Its ability to control blood sugar spikes makes it a valuable tool in diabetes management, helping to reduce the risk of complications associated with prolonged high blood sugar levels.
