In addition, acarbose is contraindicated in patients who have chronic intestinal diseases associated with marked disorders of digestion or absorption and in patients who have conditions that may deteriorate as a result of increased gas formation in the intestine.
Use in lactation: It is known whether acarbose is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, acarbose should not be administered to a nursing woman.
