Abstract
A 71-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease stage IV, primary hypothyroidism and osteoarthritis, whose prescribed treatment included miglitol 50 mg thrice daily with the first bite of meals, reported that she suffered visual hallucinations while taking miglitol, which resolved within a few days of stopping the drug. When she resumed miglitol, hallucinations recurred within a few days and again resolved within a few days of stopping the drug. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of hallucinations associated with the use of an α-glucosidase inhibitor and highlights a previously unappreciated risk associated with the use of this generally quite benign drug class. 2015 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.Entities:
