Description
Voglicose 0.3mg Tablet is an anti-diabetic medication used to help manage type 2 diabetes mellitus by controlling blood sugar levels, particularly after meals. It is commonly prescribed when other medicines, combined with a healthy diet, have not been effective in managing high blood sugar levels.
Key Ingredient:
- Voglibose (0.3mg)
How It Works:
Voglicose contains Voglibose, an enzyme inhibitor that helps to control the rise in blood glucose levels after meals. It works by blocking the enzymes in the intestines that break down complex carbohydrates (sugars) into simpler sugars like glucose. This helps prevent a rapid spike in blood sugar after eating, which is essential in managing diabetes effectively.
Uses:
- Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Voglicose helps manage high blood sugar levels by reducing the amount of glucose absorbed from food in the intestines.
How to Use:
- Dosage: The medicine should be taken just before meals, as advised by your doctor. The exact dose will depend on your condition and blood sugar levels.
- Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet.
Common Side Effects:
Most side effects are mild and often disappear as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or are bothersome, consult your doctor:
- Flatulence (gas)
- Abdominal pain
- Loss of appetite
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
While Voglicose typically does not cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) on its own, it may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken in combination with other diabetes medications like insulin or sulfonylureas. If you experience symptoms of low blood sugar (e.g., shaking, sweating, dizziness), you should treat it with glucose (not regular table sugar).
Safety Information:
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Always consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about any other medications you’re taking to avoid potential interactions.
