Acarbose: What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose?

Acarbose is meant to be taken with the first bite of each main meal (three times a day). If you do not take your acarbose as scheduled, take your next dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue on your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose of acarbose.
