Voglibose 0.3 Mg + Glimepiride 1 Mg + Metformin 500 Mg SR Tabs
₹137.00
The tablet containing Voglibose 0.3 mg, Glimepiride 1 mg, and Metformin 500 mg (SR) is a combination anti-diabetic medication used to control high blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Description and Uses
This medication combines three different drugs that work together by different mechanisms to manage blood glucose when single or dual therapy is not enough.
- Glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin.
- Metformin (a biguanide) lowers glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin. The “SR” denotes a sustained-release formula, which allows for a prolonged effect and may reduce gastrointestinal side effects.
- Voglibose (an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor) prevents the breakdown of complex carbohydrates into simple sugars in the intestine, thereby reducing the sharp rise in blood sugar levels after meals.
The primary goal of this combination is to help manage blood sugar effectively and reduce the risk of long-term diabetes complications such as kidney damage, nerve problems, eye damage (retinopathy), and loss of limbs.
Common Side Effects
Common side effects of this medication may include:
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels), especially if meals are missed, alcohol is consumed, or exercise is excessive.
- Nausea and vomiting
- Abdominal pain or discomfort
- Diarrhea
- Loss of appetite
- Taste changes
A rare but serious potential side effect associated with metformin is lactic acidosis, which requires immediate medical attention.
Important Considerations
- Administration: The tablet is typically taken orally, whole (not crushed or chewed), with or immediately before meals, as advised by a healthcare professional.
- Precautions: It is crucial to monitor blood sugar levels regularly and to carry a fast-acting source of glucose (like sugary food or fruit juice) to manage potential hypoglycemia.
- Contraindications: This medicine should not be used for type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or in patients with severe kidney or liver disease.
Always consult a doctor for personalized advice before starting or stopping any medication.
