Product Description

Voglibose 0.3 mg and Repaglinide 1 mg Tablet IP is a combination medication used in the management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. This chronic condition is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels and requires lifelong management through a combination of diet, exercise, medication, and regular medical check-ups.

Uses

• Treatment and management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

• Prevention of post-meal blood sugar spikes

How it works

Voglibose 0.3 mg and Repaglinide 1 mg Tablet IP contains:

• Repaglinide stimulates pancreatic beta cells to release insulin in response to meals, thereby lowering blood glucose levels.

• Voglibose, which inhibits the enzyme alpha-glucosidase in the intestines, delays carbohydrate digestion and absorption, reducing postprandial hyperglycemia.

The combination helps maintain better overall blood glucose control, particularly after eating.

Benefits

• Provides dual action to control blood sugar by increasing insulin secretion and slowing carbohydrate absorption.

• Helps prevent sharp increases in blood glucose after meals.

• May improve overall glycemic control when combined with diet and exercise.
