DESCRIPTION
Acarbose Tablets are an oral alpha-glucosidase inhibitor for use in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Acarbose is an oligosaccharide which is obtained from fermentation processes of a microorganism, and is chemically known as 4,6-dideoxy-4-[[(1S,4R,5S,6S)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]-�-D- glucopyranosyl-(1�4)---D-glucopyranosyl-(1�4)-D-glucose. It is a white to off-white powder with a molecular weight of 645.6. Acarbose is soluble in water and has a pK of 5.1. Its molecular formula is CHNO and its chemical structure is as follows:Acarbose Tablets are available as 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg tablets for oral use. The inactive ingredients are colloidal silicon dioxide, corn starch, magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose.
