EZChar and Miglitol

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Ask your doctor before using charcoal together with miglitol. Using these medications together can make miglitol less effective. You should contact your doctor if you experience loss of blood sugar control. You may need a dose adjustment and you may need to check your blood sugar more often to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The effect of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors may be reduced when taken concomitantly with intestinal adsorbents (e.g., charcoal) or carbohydrate-splitting digestive enzymes (e.g., amylase, pancreatin).

MANAGEMENT: Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors should not be administered simultaneously with intestinal adsorbents or preparations containing carbohydrate-splitting digestive enzymes. The optimal dosing interval between these agents has not been established. Postprandial blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) should be monitored to ensure adequate therapeutic response to alpha-glucosidase inhibitor therapy.
