Akar 100 Tablet
Akar 100 Tablet is used to treat people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps lower blood sugar levels after meals. It belongs to a group of medicines known as alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. This medicine is usually prescribed in combination with other diabetes medications. Akar 100 Tablet should be taken just before or along with the first few bites of the meal. Your doctor will decide the dose and how often you need it to get the right amount to control your blood sugar levels. The dose may be increased gradually. Please do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor.
