Voglibose 0.2mg Tablets
SKU GME552Product Introduction
Voglibose 0.2mg is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor used in type 2 diabetes to reduce the rise in blood sugar after meals. It works locally in the intestine by slowing breakdown and absorption of complex carbohydrates, so timing with meals is important. If hypoglycemia occurs while on voglibose, glucose or dextrose should be used rather than table sugar because sucrose breakdown is delayed.
How to use
Take Voglibose 0.2mg immediately before meals or as prescribed. Skip the dose if the meal is skipped unless the clinician gives different instructions.
How it works
Voglibose inhibits intestinal alpha-glucosidase enzymes, delaying carbohydrate digestion and reducing post-meal glucose spikes.
Common side effects
Possible effects include gas, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, soft stools, nausea, and raised liver enzymes. Low blood sugar is mainly a risk with insulin or sulfonylureas.
Important information
Review meal pattern, glucose monitoring, insulin, sulfonylureas, hypoglycemia treatment, liver/kidney disease, intestinal disease, obstruction risk, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and diabetic ketoacidosis.
Uses
Post-meal blood-sugar control in type 2 diabetes when voglibose is prescribed.
Benefits
Helps flatten post-meal glucose rises and complements diet, activity, and other diabetes medicines.
What is Voglibose 0.2mg used for?
Voglibose 0.2mg helps control post-meal blood sugar in type 2 diabetes.
When should it be taken?
It is usually taken just before meals because it acts on carbohydrate digestion.
What if a meal is skipped?
The dose is usually skipped with the missed meal unless the prescriber advises otherwise.
Why use glucose for low sugar?
Voglibose delays sucrose breakdown, so glucose or dextrose works more reliably.
Are gas and bloating common?
Yes. These occur because more carbohydrate reaches the lower intestine.
