Precose (acarbose) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Precose (acarbose)
Gas - not too unpleasant. As expected, gas gets worse after eating a high carb meal.
Not that bad. Had to try something and Metformin gave me too many side effects. Reduced my average morning glucose level from 150 to 125 after 4 weeks. Might consider having Doctor up the dosage. Still occasionally forgetting to take with first bite of meal, but usually remember to take it within the first 15 minutes.
too much gas to be around other people, consistent blurry vision, spaced out feeling
I do have blurry vision often before or after I eat, but it normally will flare up for a short time and go away. This seemed consistent all day.
PRECOSE (ACARBOSE): Acarbose is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Acarbose works in your intestines to slow the breakdown and absorption of carbohydrates from foods that you eat. This effect helps lessen your blood sugar rise after a meal. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

Zyrtec alleviated the hives but I began to notice stomach pain, dry eyes, tinnutus, and then when I tried to stop taking it I got vertigo and awful itching and hives- much worse than the original problem I started taking Zyrtec for. My dermatologist said if it was resolving the hives then I could continue. By then I checked withdrawal symptoms online and found so many people struggling to get off this awful drug. The itching is fierce and I woukd get hives several inches across plus swollen lips and bumps of over an inch came up randomly on my forehead or wrist. I did more research and found that Zyrtec supresses Histamine ratger than breaking it down. I had very low DAO enzyme in my body so coukd not vreak the excess histamine down naturally. After weeks of hell once I stopped taking Zyrtec I bought Histame capsules on the internet and within 3 days. had the itching under control. I tackled the root cause of my low DAO with the help of a nutritionist and was able to stop the Histame after a few weeks. I do eat a low histamine diet now which also helps. I would never ever take Zyrtec again
No issues with first shot. Second had pain in left knee like I was being stabbed 36 hrs later. Lasted hours. Since then, I have stabbing pain in both knees at times. Believe it's nerve pain, as I have arthritis and it's nothing like that. Pharmacist said she got bleeding sores around mouth.

It works well if I am tired, and just need to stop thinking in order to sleep, but it doesn't do anything to make me tired in the first place. I take it if I am tired but think I might have trouble falling asleep, if I need to be up and rested in the morning, AND if I have at least 8-10 hours to sleep.
Muscle spasms, bad cramping at night, spacy feeling, no energy, no appetite, cried a lot, vision was like looking through water, funky tongue, bad taste, dark urine, nausea, headache between eyes. I wouldn't perscribe this s#### for my worst enemy.
