Question

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

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Alpha - glucosidase inhibitors work in the digestive tract to slow carbohydrate digestion. This often leads to gastrointestinal (GI) distress such as bloating, flatulence, and diarrhea as the undigested carbohydrates are fermented by gut bacteria. They are not typically associated with weight loss, hyperglycemia (they are used to treat high blood sugar), or rapid heart rate.

Answer:

GI distress
