The combination of Repaglinide 1 mg and Voglibose 0.3 mg is an oral medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus, specifically to control high blood sugar levels after meals. It is available under various brand names in India, such as Volibo R 1mg/0.3mg Tablet, Volga R 1mg/0.3mg Tablet, and Eurepa-V 1/0.3 Tablet.
Key Information
- Uses: This combination is prescribed for managing blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes when diet, exercise, and other similar medicines are insufficient on their own.
- How it Works: Repaglinide stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin in response to a meal, while voglibose delays the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine, preventing a sharp rise in blood sugar after eating.
- Administration: It should be taken with or just after food, typically around 15 minutes before a main meal, as advised by your doctor. The tablet should be swallowed whole; do not crush, chew, or break it.
- Important Precautions:
- Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor, as blood sugar levels could increase.
- Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly.
- Be aware of symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), such as sweating, dizziness, and anxiety, and carry a source of sugar (e.g., candies, glucose biscuits) to manage it if it occurs.
- Use with caution if you have kidney or liver problems, and it is generally not recommended in cases of severe impairment.
- Avoid excessive alcohol intake as it increases the risk of hypoglycemia.
- This medicine is considered unsafe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
