What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Glyset Overview
Miglitol 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. Miglitol 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.
How to Use Glyset
Take Glyset by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually 3 times daily with the first bite of a meal. The Dosage of Glyset is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Use Glyset regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day. Tell your doctor if your condition does not get better or if it gets worse (your blood sugar is too high or too low).
Glyset Precautions
Before taking miglitol, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. Glyset may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details. Before using Glyset, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history,intestine/bowel problems (such as inflammatory bowel disease, blockage, ulcers), kidney problems. You may experience blurred vision, dizziness, or drowsiness due to extremely low or high blood sugar. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness or clear vision until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Limit alcohol while taking Glyset because it can increase your risk of developing low blood sugar. It may be harder to control your blood sugar when your body is stressed (such as due to fever, infection, injury, or surgery). Consult your doctor because this may require a change in your treatment plan, medications, or blood sugar testing. Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products). During pregnancy, Glyset should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. Pregnancy may cause or worsen diabetes. Discuss a plan with your doctor for managing your blood sugar while pregnant. Your doctor may change your diabetes treatment during your pregnancy (such as diet and medications including insulin).

Glyset Side Effects
Diarrhea, gas, or abdominal discomfort/pain may occur as your body adjusts to Glyset during the first few weeks. These side effects usually lessen with time. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Remember that Glyset has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using Glyset do not have serious side effects. Miglitol does not usually cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Low blood sugar may occur if Glyset is prescribed with other diabetes medications, or if you do not consume enough calories from food, or if you do unusually heavy exercise. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the dose of your other diabetes medication(s) needs to be lowered. Symptoms of low blood sugar include sudden sweating, shaking, fast heartbeat, hunger, blurred vision, dizziness, or tingling hands/feet. Do not use table sugar or drink non-diet soda to relieve these symptoms because miglitol slows the breakdown of table sugar. Carry glucose tablets or gel with you to treat low blood sugar.
