Warnings and precautions

If you feel shaky, sweaty, confused or unusually hungry, take sugar, glucose or a sweet drink at once and tell your doctor — these are signs your blood sugar has fallen too low. If a low-sugar episode happens while on an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor such as voglibose or acarbose, use glucose — ordinary sugar and sweets work more slowly. Tell your doctor about any new swelling of the ankles, breathlessness or sudden weight gain.

Interactions with other medicines

How to store Epalridase

Store at room temperature (below 25°C), protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Adherence to antidiabetic therapy can delay the onset of or prevent diabetic nerve disease.
