Care must be taken to swallow the preparation whole, as it contains active enzymes that can cause damage to the mucous membrane when released into the oral cavity. The absorption of folic acid can be reduced by taking it, so additional folic acid intake may be necessary.The effect of the blood sugar-lowering active ingredients acarbose and miglitol can be reduced if they are taken at the same time.Allergic reactions have been described in individual cases.In patients with cystic fibrosis, increased uric acid excretion in the urine may occur, especially when taking high doses.
