Acarbose works by slowing the action of the enzymes that break down complex carbohydrates and sugars in the small intestine. Sugars are digested more slowly, so glucose enters the blood at a gradual rate and the rise in blood sugar after a meal is reduced. Acarbose does not make the pancreas release more insulin, so its effect adds to that of insulin, sulfonylureas or metformin.

Must not be used by patients known to be allergic to acarbose. Must not be used in diabetic ketoacidosis or in patients with cirrhosis. Must not be used in inflammatory bowel disease, colonic ulceration, partial intestinal obstruction or in patients prone to intestinal obstruction. Must not be used in chronic intestinal diseases with marked disorders of digestion or absorption. Must not be used in conditions that may get worse because of increased gas formation in the intestine.
