Question

which of the following is a side effect of alpha - glucosidase inhibitors?
gi distress
weight loss
hyperglycemia
rapid heart rate

Explanation:

Alpha - glucosidase inhibitors are a class of drugs used in diabetes management. These drugs work by slowing down carbohydrate digestion in the gut. A common side effect related to this mechanism is gastrointestinal (GI) distress, which can include symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Weight loss is not a typical side effect of these inhibitors. Hyperglycemia is the opposite of what these drugs aim to treat (they help lower blood sugar), so it's not a side effect. Rapid heart rate is also not a characteristic side effect of alpha - glucosidase inhibitors.

Answer:

GI distress
