How Does PPG 0.3 Mg Work?

• The job of PPG 0.3 Mg pills, as we told you above, is to avoid a blood sugar spike after a meal.
• Through studies, it has been found that the effects of the medicine stop the secretion of certain enzymes.
• This helps to transform complex sugars into glucose, the type of blood sugar that is absorbed in the blood, increasing your blood sugar levels.
• As complex sugars cannot be digested, they pass down through the body, eventually through stool or urine.
• This is how you do not get a sugar spike after having a meal.

How Is PPG 0.3 Mg Used?

• To use the PPG 0.3 Mg pill, you need to take it orally.
• Avoid crushing or breaking the medicine before taking it, and take it in one piece.
• Remember that you need to take it before a meal, not after.
• Allow the medicine to get active, and thus, we suggest you take the medicine at least one hour before having any food.
• For better action, you need to take the medicine on an empty stomach before having the first meal.
