Description

VOGLIBOSE

VOGLIBOSE belongs to the group of anti-diabetic medicines called alpha-glucosidase inhibitors used to treat type-2 diabetes mellitus. VOGLIBOSE is prescribed for the condition of type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone cannot control their blood sugar levels. Type-2 diabetes mellitus is also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Diabetes is a medical condition in which blood glucose levels are above normal.

VOGLIBOSE contains ‘Voglibose’ that works by inhibiting the intestinal enzymes responsible for breaking complex sugars into simple sugars like glucose. Thereby, it helps in preventing blood glucose levels from rising immediately after meals.

 

You are advised to take VOGLIBOSE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, VOGLIBOSE may cause common side-effects such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea, flatulence (gas), skin reactions, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to consult your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

 

Please do not skip any doses or stop taking VOGLIBOSE suddenly without consulting your doctor as it may lead to increased blood glucose levels. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. VOGLIBOSE should not be given to children unless prescribed by a doctor. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking VOGLIBOSE as it might increase side effects. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects.
