Keep in mind that ZAVESCA® (miglustat) may take some time to work. Even though some people taking ZAVESCA may not feel better right away, they can experience benefits that their doctors can measure. Individual results may vary.
Giving it time
Remember, different people react to ZAVESCA in different ways. Have patience and stick with it.
Talk to your doctor before making any changes to your diet and if you have any questions or concerns.
Diarrhea is common with ZAVESCA and sometimes can be serious. Your doctor may prescribe another medicine (anti-diarrheal) to treat diarrhea if it is a problem for you and may recommend changes to your diet, such as avoiding foods high in carbohydrates. Talk with your doctor about your diet if you have diarrhea.
