Voglinorm M 0.2mg Tablet is prescribed as a second-line treatment for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet, exercise, and single-medicine therapies are not enough to control blood sugar levels effectively. This medicine helps improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
This combination medicine contains Metformin 500mg and Voglibose 0.2mg. Metformin works by reducing the sugar produced by the liver and increasing your body's sensitivity to insulin, allowing it to use sugar more efficiently. Voglibose helps slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in your gut, which prevents sharp rises in blood sugar after meals. Together, these ingredients help maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.
Always take Voglinorm M 0.2mg Tablet exactly as directed by your doctor. It is generally advised to take this medicine with meals to help reduce stomach upset. Do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor, as this could lead to uncontrolled blood sugar levels. Your doctor may conduct blood tests to check your kidney function before and during treatment.
It is important to avoid alcohol consumption while taking Voglinorm M 0.2mg Tablet, as it can increase the risk of a serious condition called lactic acidosis and may worsen your diabetes. Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
