Intake during pregnancy and lactation
Pregnant women and nursing mothers are not advised to take alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. Children and adolescents under the age of 18 should also avoid them. Unfortunately, there is too little or hardly any experience available as to how alpha-glucosidase inhibitors affect the development of the human body.
Furthermore, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors should not be used in cases of inflammatory bowel disease, severe renal insufficiency and existing hernias (see above contraindications).
