Sacrosidase | Before Using | Proper Use | Side Effects


Before Using This Medicine

In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For sacrosidase, the following should be considered:

Allergies—Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to sacrosidase. Also tell your health care professional if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes.

Pregnancy—Sacrosidase has not been studied in humans or animals. Discuss with your doctor whether or not you should take it during pregnancy.

Breast-feeding—Sacrosidase is broken down in the stomach, so it does not pass into breast milk.

Other medical problems—The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of sacrosidase. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:

  • Diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes)—This medicine affects how much sugar is absorbed and broken down by the body, so changes in planning of your diet may be needed
