When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Miglitol is eliminated primarily by the kidney. Plasma miglitol levels in patients with renal impairment have been shown to proportionally increase relative to the degree of renal dysfunction. However, long-term clinical trials in diabetic patients with significant renal dysfunction (serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dL) have not been conducted. Therapy with miglitol should be administered cautiously in patients with renal insufficiency. The manufacturer does not recommend its use in patients with significantly impaired renal function.
