Glimepiride 1 mg + Voglibose 0.2 mg +Metformin 500 mg (SR)Tabs- GA
₹87.42
The tablet containing Glimepiride 1 mg, Voglibose 0.2 mg, and Metformin 500 mg (Sustained Release) is an anti-diabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when diet, exercise, and single-drug therapies are insufficient.
Uses
This combination medication helps control high blood sugar levels and manage type 2 diabetes by using three different mechanisms:
- Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea that works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas.
- Metformin (as a sustained release formulation) is a biguanide that lowers glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
- Voglibose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that slows down the breakdown of complex carbohydrates into simple sugars in the intestine, thereby decreasing the rise in blood glucose levels after meals.
By controlling blood sugar, the medication helps prevent serious long-term complications of diabetes such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, and loss of limbs.
Important Considerations
- Take with food: This medication should be taken with or immediately before meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects and optimize the effect of voglibose.
- Hypoglycemia Risk: The medicine can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially if you miss or delay a meal, drink alcohol, or over-exercise. Always carry a fast-acting source of glucose (like sugar candies or fruit juice) for immediate relief.
- Alcohol: Avoid alcohol consumption as it can increase the risk of hypoglycemia and a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis.
- Do not stop abruptly: Continue taking this medicine as prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel well. Stopping abruptly can cause a dangerous rise in blood sugar levels.
- Contraindications: It should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease.
Always consult with a healthcare professional regarding the use of this or any other medication, as the dosage and suitability may vary based on your medical condition.
