The tablet containing Gliclazide 80 mg + Metformin 500 mg + Voglibose 0.3 mg is a prescription medication used to treat Type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It is a combination therapy that helps control high blood sugar levels.
Key Information
- Primary Use: Management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly in patients whose blood sugar is not adequately controlled with diet, exercise, or other single/dual medications.
- Mechanism of Action:
- Gliclazide: Stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin.
- Metformin: Decreases the liver’s production of glucose and enhances the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
- Voglibose: Slows down the absorption of carbohydrates from the intestines after meals, which prevents sudden spikes in blood sugar.
- Administration: It should be taken orally with food, as advised by your doctor, to reduce stomach upset and maximize effectiveness. Do not crush or chew the tablet.
Important Precautions
- Hypoglycemia: This medication can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). It is important to have regular meals and carry a fast-acting source of glucose (like sugar candies or fruit juice) with you.
- Alcohol: Avoid consuming alcohol, as it increases the risk of low blood sugar and a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis.
- Contraindications: Do not take this medicine if you have Type 1 diabetes, severe kidney or liver disease, or diabetic ketoacidosis.
- Lifestyle: This medication is part of a complete treatment program that should also include a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management as advised by your doctor.
