An oral medication that slows the digestion of carbohydrates in the intestine by blocking enzymes that break down complex sugars, resulting in a more gradual rise in blood glucose after meals. It is used alongside diet and exercise to manage type 2 diabetes and lowers after-meal blood sugar spikes without causing low blood sugar on its own. Digestive side effects such as gas and bloating are common, especially early in treatment, and tend to improve over time.

Wirkmechanismus

Selectively blocks angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors, preventing the vasoconstrictive and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II. This results in vasodilation, reduced sodium retention, and decreased blood pressure.
