What is Advog 0.2 used for?

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (as an add-on to diet and exercise) to control post‑meal (postprandial) blood glucose; may be used alone or with other antidiabetic medicines.

How Advog 0.2 Works

Voglibose is an alpha‑glucosidase inhibitor that delays breakdown and absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine. This reduces the rise in blood sugar after meals and helps improve overall glycaemic control.

Dosage & Directions

Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed, typically just before the first bite of each main meal (or with the first mouthful). If you skip a meal, skip that dose. Follow diet and exercise advice; do not crush unless advised.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.

Lowers post‑meal blood sugar spikes
Helps improve overall glycaemic control
Useful add‑on to diet and exercise
Can be combined with other antidiabetic medicines

Alcohol Interaction

Use with caution (alcohol can affect blood sugar control and increase hypoglycaemia risk with other antidiabetics)
