Miglitol:
For Oral Use
Miglitol tablets are available as 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg tablets for oral use. The inactive ingredients are corn starch, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, hypromelloses, polyethylene glycols, titanium dioxide, and polysorbate 80.

Miglitol is a desoxynojirimycin derivative that delays the digestion of ingested carbohydrates, thereby resulting in a smaller rise in blood glucose concentration following meals. As a consequence of plasma glucose reduction, Mithra-Intim Gel tablets reduce levels of glycosylated hemoglobin in patients with Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. Systemic nonenzymatic protein glycosylation, as reflected by levels of glycosylated hemoglobin, is a function of average blood glucose concentration over time.
In contrast to sulfonylureas, Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets do not enhance insulin secretion. The antihyperglycemic action of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) results from a reversible inhibition of membrane-bound intestinal α-glucoside hydrolase enzymes. Membrane-bound intestinal α-glucosidases hydrolyze oligosaccharides and disaccharides to glucose and other monosaccharides in the brush border of the small intestine. In diabetic patients, this enzyme inhibition results in delayed glucose absorption and lowering of postprandial hyperglycemia.
Because its mechanism of action is different, the effect of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets to enhance glycemic control is additive to that of sulfonylureas when used in combination. In addition, Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets diminish the insulinotropic and weight-increasing effects of sulfonylureas.
Miglitol has minor inhibitory activity against lactase and consequently, at the recommended doses, would not be expected to induce lactose intolerance.
Absorption of Mithra-Intim Gel is saturable at high doses: a dose of 25 mg is completely absorbed, whereas a dose of 100 mg is 50% to 70% absorbed. For all doses, peak concentrations are reached in 2 to 3 hours. There is no evidence that systemic absorption of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) contributes to its therapeutic effect.
The protein binding of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) is negligible (<4.0%). Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) has a volume of distribution of 0.18 L/kg, consistent with distribution primarily into the extracellular fluid.
Miglitol is not metabolized in humans or in any animal species studied. No metabolites have been detected in plasma, urine, or feces, indicating a lack of either systemic or pre-systemic metabolism.
Miglitol is eliminated by renal excretion as unchanged drug. Following a 25 mg dose, over 95% of the dose is recovered in the urine within 24 hours. At higher doses, the cumulative recovery of drug from urine is somewhat lower due to the incomplete bioavailability. The elimination half-life of Mithra-Intim Gel from plasma is approximately 2 hours.
Because Mithra-Intim Gel is excreted primarily by the kidneys, accumulation of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) is expected in patients with renal impairment. Patients with creatinine clearance <25 mL/min taking 25 mg 3 times daily, exhibited a greater than two-fold increase in Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) plasma levels as compared to subjects with creatinine clearance >60 mL/min. Dosage adjustment to correct the increased plasma concentrations is not feasible because Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) acts locally. Little information is available on the safety of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) in patients with creatinine clearance <25 mL/min. Therefore, treatment of these patients with Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) is not recommended.
Miglitol pharmacokinetics were not altered in cirrhotic patients relative to healthy control subjects. Since Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) is not metabolized, no influence of hepatic function on the kinetics of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) is expected.
No significant difference in the pharmacokinetics of Mithra-Intim Gel was observed between elderly men and women when body weight was considered.
Several pharmacokinetic studies were conducted in Japanese volunteers, with results similar to those observed in Caucasians. A study comparing the pharmacodynamic response to a single 50 mg dose in Black and Caucasian healthy volunteers indicated similar glucose and insulin responses in both populations.
In Study 1, a 1-year study in which Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets were evaluated as monotherapy and also as combination therapy, there was a statistically significantly smaller increase in mean glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) over time in the Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) 50 mg 3 times daily monotherapy arm compared to placebo. Significant reductions in mean fasting and postprandial plasma glucose levels and in mean postprandial insulin levels were observed in patients treated with Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets compared with the placebo group.
In Study 2, a 14-week study, there was a significant decrease in HbA1c in patients receiving Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets 50 mg 3 times daily or 100 mg 3 times daily compared to placebo. In addition, there were significant reductions in postprandial plasma glucose and postprandial serum insulin levels compared to placebo.
Study 3 was a 6-month dose-ranging trial evaluating Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets at doses from 25 mg 3 times daily, to 200 mg 3 times daily. Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets produced a greater reduction in HbA1c than placebo at all doses, although the effect was statistically significant at the 100 mg 3 times daily and 200 mg 3 times daily. In addition, all doses of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets produced significant reductions in postprandial plasma glucose and postprandial insulin levels compared to placebo.
Studies 4 and 5 were 6-month studies evaluating Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets at 50 and 100 mg 3 times daily, and 100 mg 3 times daily, respectively. As compared to placebo, Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets produced reductions in HbA1c, as well as a significant reduction in postprandial plasma glucose in both studies at the doses employed.

Study 6 included patients under treatment with maximal doses of SFU at entry. At the end of this 14-week study, the mean treatment effects on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were -0.82% and -0.74% for patients receiving Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets 50 mg 3 times daily plus SFU, and Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets 100 mg 3 times daily plus SFU, respectively.
Study 7 was a 1-year study in which Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets at 25, 50 or 100 mg 3 times daily was added to a maximal dose of glyburide (10 mg twice daily). At the end of this study, the mean treatment effects on HbA1c of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets when added to maximum glyburide therapy were -0.30%, -0.62%, and -0.73% with the 25, 50 and 100 mg 3 times daily dosages of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets, respectively.
In Study 8, the addition of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets 100 mg 3 times daily to a background of treatment with glyburide produced an additional mean treatment effect on HbA1c of -0.66%.

Because of its mechanism of action, the primary pharmacologic effect of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) is manifested as a reduction in postprandial plasma glucose, as shown previously in all of the major clinical trials. Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets were statistically significantly different from placebo at all doses in each of the individual studies with respect to effect on mean one-hour postprandial plasma glucose, and there is a dose response from 25 to 100 mg 3 times daily for this efficacy parameter.

Miglitol tablets are indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Miglitol tablets are contraindicated in patients with:
There have been no clinical studies establishing conclusive evidence of macrovascular risk reduction with Mithra-Intim Gel tablets or any other anti-diabetic drug.
Because of its mechanism of action, Mithra-Intim Gel tablets, when administered alone should not cause hypoglycemia in the fasted or postprandial state. Sulfonylureas and insulin can cause hypoglycemia. Because Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets given in combination with a sulfonylurea or insulin will cause a further lowering of blood glucose, it may increase the hypoglycemic potential of the sulfonylurea or insulin. Consider reducing the dose of sulfonylureas or insulin when Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets are used in combination with these medications.
Oral glucose (dextrose), whose absorption is not delayed by Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets, should be used instead of sucrose (cane sugar) in the treatment of mild-to-moderate hypoglycemia. Sucrose, whose hydrolysis to glucose and fructose is inhibited by Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets, is unsuitable for the rapid correction of hypoglycemia. Severe hypoglycemia may require the use of either intravenous glucose infusion or glucagon injection.
When diabetic patients are exposed to stress such as fever, trauma, infection, or surgery, a temporary loss of control of blood glucose may occur. At such times, temporary insulin therapy may be necessary.
Plasma concentrations of Mithra-Intim Gel tablets in renally impaired volunteers were proportionally increased relative to the degree of renal dysfunction. Long-term clinical trials in diabetic patients with significant renal dysfunction (serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dL) have not been conducted. Therefore, treatment of these patients with Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets is not recommended.
The following information should be provided to patients:
In initiating treatment for type 2 diabetes, diet should be emphasized as the primary form of treatment. Caloric restriction and weight loss are essential in the obese diabetic patient. Proper dietary management alone may be effective in controlling the blood glucose and symptoms of hyperglycemia. The importance of regular physical activity should also be stressed, and cardiovascular risk factors should be identified and corrective measures taken where possible. Use of Mithra-Intim Gel tablets or other antidiabetic medications must be viewed by both the physician and patient as a treatment in addition to diet and not as a substitution or as a convenient mechanism for avoiding dietary restraint. Furthermore, loss of blood glucose control on diet alone may be transient, thus requiring only short-term administration of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets or other antidiabetic medications. Maintenance or discontinuation of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets or other antidiabetic medications should be based on clinical judgment using regular clinical and laboratory evaluations.
Therapeutic response to Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets may be monitored by periodic blood glucose tests. Measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin levels is recommended for the monitoring of long-term glycemic control.
In a study with healthy volunteers, co-administration of either 50 mg or 100 mg Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) 3 times daily together with digoxin reduced the average plasma concentrations of digoxin by 19% and 28%, respectively. However, in diabetic patients under treatment with digoxin, plasma digoxin concentrations were not altered by co-administration of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) 100 mg 3 times daily for 14 days.
Other healthy volunteer studies have demonstrated that Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) may significantly reduce the bioavailability of ranitidine and propranolol by 60% and 40%, respectively. No effect of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) was observed on the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of either warfarin or nifedipine.
Intestinal adsorbents (e.g., charcoal) and digestive enzyme preparations containing carbohydrate-splitting enzymes (e.g., amylase, pancreatin) may reduce the effect of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets and should not be taken concomitantly.
In 12 healthy males, concomitantly administered antacid did not influence the pharmacokinetics of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol).
Miglitol was administered to mice by the dietary route at doses as high as approximately 500 mg/kg body weight (corresponding to greater than 5 times the exposure in humans based on AUC) for 21 months. In a two-year rat study, Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) was administered in the diet at exposures comparable to the maximum human exposures based on AUC. There was no evidence of carcinogenicity resulting from dietary treatment with Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol).
In vitro,
A combined male and female fertility study conducted in Wistar rats treated orally with Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) at dose levels of 300 mg/kg body weight (approximately 8 times the maximum human exposure based on body surface area) produced no untoward effect on reproductive performance or capability to reproduce. Survival, growth, development, and fertility of the offspring were not compromised.
The safety of Mithra-Intim Gel tablets in pregnant women has not been established. Developmental toxicology studies have been performed in rats at doses of 50, 150 and 450 mg/kg, corresponding to levels of approximately 1.5, 4, and 12 times the maximum recommended human exposure based on body surface area. In rabbits, doses of 10, 45, and 200 mg/kg corresponding to levels of approximately 0.5, 3, and 10 times the human exposure were examined. These studies revealed no evidence of fetal malformations attributable to Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol). Doses of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) up to 4 and 3 times the human dose (based on body surface area), for rats and rabbits respectively, did not reveal evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus. The highest doses tested in these studies, 450 mg/kg in the rat and 200 mg/kg in the rabbit promoted maternal and/or fetal toxicity. Fetotoxicity was indicated by a slight but significant reduction in fetal weight in the rat study and slight reduction in fetal weight, delayed ossification of the fetal skeleton and increase in the percentage of non-viable fetuses in the rabbit study. In the peri-postnatal study in rats, the NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) was 100 mg/kg (corresponding to approximately four times the exposure to humans, based on body surface area). An increase in stillborn progeny was noted at the high dose (300 mg/kg) in the rat peri-postnatal study, but not at the high dose (450 mg/kg) in the delivery segment of the rat developmental toxicity study. Otherwise, there was no adverse effect on survival, growth, development, behavior, or fertility in either the rat developmental toxicity or peri-postnatal studies. There are however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
Miglitol has been shown to be excreted in human milk to a very small degree. Total excretion into milk accounted for 0.02% of a 100 mg maternal dose. The estimated exposure to a nursing infant is approximately 0.4% of the maternal dose. Although the levels of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) reached in human milk are exceedingly low, it is recommended that Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets not be administered to a nursing woman.
Safety and effectiveness of Mithra-Intim Gel tablets in pediatric patients have not been established.
Of the total number of subjects in clinical studies of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets in the United States, patients valid for safety analyses included 24% over 65, and 3% over 75. No overall differences in safety and effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects. The pharmacokinetics of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) were studied in elderly and young males (n=8 per group). At the dosage of 100 mg 3 times daily for 3 days, no differences between the two groups were found.
Gastrointestinal symptoms are the most common reactions to Mithra-Intim Gel tablets. In U.S. placebo-controlled trials, the incidences of abdominal pain, diarrhea, and flatulence were 11.7%, 28.7%, and 41.5% respectively in 962 patients treated with Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets, 25 mg to 100 mg 3 times daily, whereas the corresponding incidences were 4.7%, 10.0%, and 12.0% in 603 placebo-treated patients. The incidence of diarrhea and abdominal pain tended to diminish with continued treatment.
Skin rash was reported in 4.3% of patients treated with Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets compared to 2.4% of placebo-treated patients. Rashes were generally transient and most were assessed as unrelated to Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets by physician investigators.
Low serum iron occurred more often in patients treated with Mithra-Intim Gel tablets (9.2%) than in placebo-treated patients (4.2%) but did not persist in the majority of cases and was not associated with reductions in hemoglobin or changes in other hematologic indices.
The following adverse reactions have been reported during post-approval use of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is generally not possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Gastrointestinal Disorders:
There have been rare postmarketing reports of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis associated with the use of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, including Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets. Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis may present with symptoms of diarrhea, mucus discharge, rectal bleeding, and constipation. Complications may include pneumoperitoneum, volvulus, intestinal obstruction, intussusception, intestinal hemorrhage, and intestinal perforation. If pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is suspected, discontinue Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets and perform the appropriate diagnostic imaging.
Unlike sulfonylureas or insulin, an overdose of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets will not result in hypoglycemia. An overdose may result in transient increases in flatulence, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. Because of the lack of extra-intestinal effects seen with Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets, no serious systemic reactions are expected in the event of an overdose.
There is no fixed dosage regimen for the management of diabetes mellitus with Mithra-Intim Gel tablets or any other pharmacologic agent. Dosage of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets must be individualized on the basis of both effectiveness and tolerance while not exceeding the maximum recommended dosage of 100 mg 3 times daily. Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets should be taken three times daily at the start of each main meal. Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets should be started at 25 mg, and the dosage gradually increased both to reduce gastrointestinal adverse effects and to permit identification of the minimum dose required for adequate glycemic control of the patient.
During treatment initiation and dose titration, one-hour postprandial plasma glucose may be used to determine the therapeutic response to Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets and identify the minimum effective dose for the patient. Thereafter, glycosylated hemoglobin should be measured at intervals of approximately 3 months. The therapeutic goal should be to decrease both postprandial plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels to normal or near normal by using the lowest effective dose of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets, either as monotherapy or in combination with a sulfonylurea.
The recommended starting dosage of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets is 25 mg, given orally three times daily at the start of each main meal. However, some patients may benefit by starting at 25 mg once daily to minimize gastrointestinal adverse effects, and gradually increasing the frequency of administration to 3 times daily.
The usual maintenance dose of Mithra-Intim Gel tablets is 50 mg taken 3 times daily, although some patients may benefit from increasing the dose to 100 mg 3 times daily. To allow adaptation to potential gastrointestinal adverse effects, it is recommended that Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets therapy be initiated at a dosage of 25 mg 3 times daily, then gradually titrated upward to allow adaptation. After 4 to 8 weeks of the 25 mg 3 times daily regimen, the dosage should be increased to 50 mg 3 times daily for approximately three months, following which a glycosylated hemoglobin level should be measured to assess therapeutic response. If at that time, the glycosylated hemoglobin level is not satisfactory, the dosage may be further increased to 100 mg 3 times daily, the maximum recommended dosage. Pooled data from controlled studies suggest a dose-response for both HbA1c and one-hour postprandial plasma glucose throughout the recommended dosage range. However, no single study has examined the effect on glycemic control of titrating patients' doses upwards within the same study. If no further reduction in postprandial glucose or glycosylated hemoglobin levels is observed with titration to 100 mg 3 times daily, consideration should be given to lowering the dose. Once an effective and tolerated dosage is established, it should be maintained.
The maximum recommended dosage of Mithra-Intim Gel (Miglitol) tablets is 100 mg 3 times daily. In one clinical trial, 200 mg 3 times daily gave additional improved glycemic control but increased the incidence of the gastrointestinal symptoms described above.
Miglitol tablets are available as 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg white to off-white, circular, biconvex film-coated tablets, debossed with the logo-mark "OP" on one side and the product code on the other side, as indicated below.
