Question
which of the following is a side effect of alpha - glucosidase inhibitors?
gi distress
weight loss
hyperglycemia
rapid heart rate
Brief Explanations
Alpha - glucosidase inhibitors work by slowing carbohydrate absorption in the gut. A common side effect is gastrointestinal (GI) distress like flatulence, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. Weight loss is not a typical side effect, hyperglycemia is the opposite of what they aim to treat (they help lower blood sugar), and rapid heart rate is not associated with these inhibitors.
