Description
Voglinid 0.3mg Tablet MD is an anti-diabetic medication used to help manage type 2 diabetes mellitus by controlling high blood sugar levels, especially after meals. It is typically prescribed when other diabetes medications, in combination with a restricted diet, have not been successful in adequately controlling blood sugar levels.
Key Ingredient:
- Voglibose (0.3mg)
How It Works:
Voglinid 0.3mg Tablet MD contains Voglibose, which works by inhibiting certain intestinal enzymes that break down complex carbohydrates (sugars) into simple sugars like glucose. This helps to prevent a rapid rise in blood glucose levels after meals, thereby helping to manage blood sugar spikes and control post-meal hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Uses:
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Voglinid is used to manage high blood sugar levels, particularly after meals. It is effective when other diabetes medications, along with dietary restrictions, fail to adequately control blood glucose levels.
How to Use:
- Dosage: Voglinid should be taken just before meals, as prescribed by your doctor. The specific dosage will depend on your condition and response to treatment.
- Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not chew or break the tablet.
- It is typically taken on an empty stomach for maximum effect.
Common Side Effects:
The most common side effects of Voglinid include:
- Flatulence (gas)
- Abdominal pain
- Loss of appetite
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
Most of these side effects are temporary and subside as your body adjusts to the medication. If any of these persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
Hypoglycemia Risk: Voglinid, when taken alone, does not cause low blood sugar. However, it can increase the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) if combined with other anti-diabetic medications such as insulin or sulfonylureas. Hypoglycemia should be treated with plain glucose (not table sugar).
