Acarpal 25 mg & 50 mg – Acarbose Tablets IP are prescription medications used to control type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially in patients with high postprandial (after-meal) blood glucose levels.

These tablets contain Acarbose, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that delays the breakdown and absorption of carbohydrates in the small intestine. This helps to reduce the sudden rise in blood sugar after meals, making it ideal for patients with poor glycemic control.
