Acarbose may interfere with digoxin Lanoxin absorption thereby decreasing digoxin blood levels and its effect Therefore the digoxin dose may need to be increased if acarbose is begun Since adding insulin or a sulfonylurea to acarbose therapy may lower blood glucose more than acarbose alone the risk for developing hypoglycemia is greater when these drugs are combined Caution should be used when combining these drugs If mild to moderate hypoglycemia occurs while taking acarbose in combination with another antidiabetic drug the hypoglycemia should be treated with oral glucose dextrose instead of sucrose table sugar because acarbose blocks the digestion of sucrose to glucose and hypoglycemia will not be corrected rapidly with sucrose Acarbose alone does not produce hypoglycemia Charcoal may absorb acarbose and digestive enzyme preparations such as amylase or pancreatin may breakdown acarbose and should not be adminstered with acarbose
