What is Glyset?

Glyset is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Pfizer Inc. Glyset contains miglitol, an oral alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, indicated with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Glyset delays the digestion of carbohydrates in your body. This decreases the amount of glucose that passes into your blood after a meal and prevents periods of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).

What doses of Glyset are available?

Glyset is available in tablet form, in the following doses: 25 mg.

Glyset is usually taken 3 times per day at the start of a meal. Take each dose with the first bite of the main meal. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can happen to anyone who has diabetes. To treat low blood sugar quickly while taking Glyset, use a dextrose-based source of sugar. A sucrose-based source of sugar may not work because Glyset can block the action of sucrose in the body. Sucrose-based sugar sources include cane sugar, candy, table sugar, chocolate, syrup, and non-diet soda or other sweetened foods.

Your blood sugar levels can be affected by a number of factors. Consult your doctor before changing your dose or medication schedule. You are recommended to read the full prescribing information for drug information and safety information. Store Glyset tablets at room temperature. Always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice or about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
