There is no exact dosage standard of Acarbose in the treatment of diabetes, as the exact dosage varies on a case by case basis. The recommended initial dosage is 25 mg taken three times daily with the first bite of each meal, which may be adjusted depending on its effectiveness. Your physician will then adjust the dosage regimen every 4-8 weeks depending on your body's tolerance to the drug.1
