FAQ's on Acarjohn 25 Tablet

What if I forget to take Acarjohn?

If you forget to take a dose of Acarjohn, do not take the missed dose between meals. Wait for the scheduled dose and meal and continue taking your tablets as prescribed. Do not take the dose twice to make up for your forgotten tablets.

What will happen if more than the recommended dose of Acarjohn is taken?

If you take more than the recommended dose of Acarjohn then it may cause temporary increase in flatulence (accumulation of gas), diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. It is advised to avoid meals or drinks containing carbohydrates for the next 4-6 hours.

Does Acarjohn cause hypoglycemia?

Acarjohn does not cause hypoglycemia by itself though it has glucose-lowering effect. However, a fall of blood sugar levels in the hypoglycemic range may occur when given along with other antidiabetic medicines or insulin. If this occurs, consult your doctor who may modify your dose accordingly.

Can Acarjohn cause diarrhea?

Yes, diarrhea is a common side effect of Acarjohn. However, this does not affect everybody. Any food containing carbohydrates, such as household sugar (cane sugar) can cause diarrhea and severe abdominal pain. If diarrhea persists or becomes severe, then contact your doctor immediately.

When should Acarjohn be taken?

Acarjohn should be taken with your meals and should be swallowed whole with water or chewed with the first mouthful of food. The initial dose of Acarjohn is generally twice daily. The dose is then gradually increased to thrice daily.

Who should not take Acarjohn?

Acarjohn should be avoided by patients who are allergic to it, have severe liver disease, or have inflammation or ulceration of intestine (eg Crohn’s disease). The use of Acarjohn should also be restricted in patients who have an intestinal obstruction (cramping pain, vomiting, obstipation, and lack of flatus). In addition, patients who have a large hernia or an intestinal disease where food is not digested or absorbed properly should avoid Acarjohn. Along with that, Acarjohn should not be used by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Why does Acarjohn cause flatulence?

Acarjohn blocks the digestion of carbohydrates which causes accumulation of undigested carbohydrates in the colon. Bacterial fermentation of the accumulated carbohydrates causes intestinal gas, leading to flatulence and abdominal pain.
