Safety & Side Effects
Effetti collaterali segnalati
- ⚠ Generally very well-tolerated
- ⚠ Rare allergic reactions to mold-derived enzyme (Aspergillus source)
- ⚠ May cause mild GI discomfort in rare cases
Interazioni note
- ● Acarbose (alpha-galactosidase may counteract the blood sugar-lowering mechanism of acarbose; contraindicated for concurrent use)
- ● Miglitol (similar mechanism conflict as acarbose)
Livello di assunzione massimo tollerabile: No established upper limit; adjust per meal as needed
