Drug Uses
Prеcosе is used for treating type 2 diabetes in adults whose diabetes cannot be managed with diet alone. Prеcosе may be used alone, in combination with other oral diabetes medicines, or with insulin.
How to use
Use Prеcosе as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
Take Prеcosе by mouth with food.
If you also take charcoal or digestive enzyme preparations, do not take them within 2 to 4 hours before after taking Prеcosе . Check with your doctor if you have questions.
Temporary insulin therapy may be necessary during stressful periods (such as fever, trauma, infection, or surgery).
Drug Class and Mechanism
Prеcosе is a glucosidase inhibitor. It works by slowing down the enzyme that turns carbohydrates into glucose; this decreases blood sugar levels following a meal.
Missed Dose
Аcаrbose is a glucosidase inhibitor. It works by slowing down the enzyme that turns carbohydrates into glucose; this decreases blood sugar levels following a meal.
Storage
Store Prеcosе at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep in a tight, light-resistant container. Keep Prеcosе out of the reach of children and away from pets.
