What is this medicine?
French reference leaflet: ACARBOSE VIATRIS 100 mg, comprimé sécable. Confirm indications in Morocco with a pharmacist.
Pharmacotherapeutic class: alpha-glucosidase inhibitors - ATC code: A 1 0BF01 ACARBOSE VIATRIS is an antidiabetic. It delays the digestion and absorption of sugars by the intestine. Its action delays the passage of sugar into the blood, thereby decreasing the rise in blood sugar levels that occurs after a meal. In which cases is it used? This medicine is used to treat a certain form of diabetes called "type 2 diabetes" (or non-insulin-dependent diabetes), in conjunction with diet. It is reserved for adults. The efficacy and tolerability of ACARBOSE VIATRIS have not been established in children under 18 years of age.

Uses
Treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes, as an adjunct to diet, as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic therapies.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy
Risk related to diabetes
Diabetes (gestational or permanent), when not balanced, is the cause of an increase in congenital malformations and perinatal mortality. In the periconceptional period, as good a balance of diabetes as possible must be achieved, in order to reduce the malformation risk.
Risk related to acarbose
Animal studies have not shown any teratogenic effect. In the absence of a teratogenic effect in animals, a malformative effect in the human species is not expected. Indeed, to date, substances responsible for malformations in the human species have proven to be teratogenic in animals during well-conducted studies on two species.
In clinical practice, there are currently no sufficiently relevant data on a possible malformative or foetotoxic effect of acarbose when administered during pregnancy.
Management
Rebalancing diabetes allows for the normalization of the course of pregnancy in this category of patients.
It imperatively requires insulin, regardless of the type of diabetes, I or II, gestational or permanent.
In the latter case, it is recommended to stop treatment with acarbose and to take over with insulin as soon as a pregnancy is envisaged or in case of fortuitous discovery of a pregnancy exposed to this medicine: in this case, this does not constitute the systematic argument to advise an interruption of pregnancy but leads to a cautious attitude and oriented prenatal surveillance.
Neonatal blood glucose monitoring is recommended
Breastfeeding
After administration of radiolabelled acarbose to the lactating rat, a small amount was detected in the milk. To date, there are no similar data in humans.
However, as the risk of acarbose effects on the breastfed child cannot be excluded, this medicine is not recommended in case of breastfeeding.
Driving
No data is available on the effects of treatment with acarbose on the ability to drive vehicles and use machines.
