About the Product:
Voglistar-Plus 0.3 Tablet is an anti-diabetic medication used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This condition is characterized by high blood sugar levels, which occur either due to insulin resistance or insufficient insulin production by the pancreas. Voglistar-Plus 0.3 Tablet is a combination of two active ingredients, Voglibose and Metformin, that work together to control blood sugar levels and help prevent complications associated with diabetes.
Salt Composition/Key Ingredients:
- Metformin (500mg)
- Voglibose (0.3mg)
How It Works:
- Voglibose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that works by inhibiting the enzymes in the intestines which break down complex sugars into simple sugars (glucose). This helps prevent a rapid rise in blood sugar levels immediately after meals.
- Metformin belongs to the class of biguanides. It reduces blood sugar levels without increasing insulin secretion. Metformin also enhances the body’s sensitivity to insulin, making it more effective in controlling glucose. Unlike many other anti-diabetic drugs, Metformin does not cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or weight gain in most cases.
Uses:
- Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
- Helps control blood sugar levels and prevent complications like kidney damage, nerve damage, and heart disease associated with diabetes.
Directions for Use:
- Take Voglistar-Plus 0.3 Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
- Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.
- It is recommended to take the tablet with food to help minimize gastrointestinal side effects like nausea and stomach discomfort.
- Your doctor may start with a low dose and gradually adjust it to the optimal level based on your blood sugar levels.
Side Effects:
Most side effects are mild and may go away as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if any of these persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Common side effects include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Changes in taste
- Diarrhea
- Dizziness
- Stomach pain
- Shortness of breath
- Skin rash
- Bloating and flatulence (intestinal gas)
Serious Side Effects:
A rare but serious side effect of Metformin is lactic acidosis, a condition caused by the buildup of lactic acid in the blood, which can occur in individuals with kidney, liver, or heart problems. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience symptoms such as severe weakness, muscle pain, or difficulty breathing.
