Brand name Glyset, Miglitol is prescribed for treating Diabetes Type 2 . This is an Antidiabetic medication. Generic Ingredients are :- Acarbose, Precose.
General Information of the drug
- Miglitol works differently from other oral antidiabetes drugs, which control blood sugar levels by increasing the production of insulin or helping the body to use the hormone more efficiently.
- Miglitol delays the digestion of carbohydrates (sugars) by acting in the cells that line the small intestine, where sugar is absorbed. This results in less sugar being absorbed into the blood and therefore, a lower blood-sugar level.
- Miglitol also has some effect against the enzyme lactase, but usually does not cause lactose intolerance. Hypoglycemia (very low blood sugar) is unlikely with miglitol because of the way the drug works in diabetes.

Gastric Aspiration and Lavage
Although unabsorbed drug in the stomach may be removed by gastric aspiration and lavage its usefulness in practice has been seriously questioned (Proudfoot 1984). Most drugs and poisons seem to be absorbed rapidly and this technique is unlikely to be productive more than 4 hours after ingestion, unless gastric emptying has been delayed by opioid analgesics, anticholinergic agents, central nervous system depressants, and possibly salicylates. In such circumstances gastric lavage may be worthwhile up to 12 hours after ingestion.
It is said to be contraindicated after ingestion of corrosives and hydrocarbons such as paraffin because of the risks of perforation and lipoid pneumonia, respectively.

The idea that drug concentrations could be measured and used to guide therapeutic decisions was first applied to quinidine when it was used to convert the cardiac rhythm of patients with atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm (Sokolow & Ball 1956).
Although quinidine is rarely used for this purpose today, because of the advent of DC cardioversion, this study is still almost unique because it defined a target concentration based upon both the probability of therapeutic success and of toxicity.
