Uses of Gluconorm Vg-1 Forte Tab

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (adult) to improve blood glucose control when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient; used when combination therapy with metformin, a DPP-4 inhibitor and a sulfonylurea is appropriate.

• •Lowers fasting and post-meal blood glucose
• •Improves insulin sensitivity
• •Enhances glucose-dependent insulin release
• •Helps achieve better HbA1c control
• •Convenient combination therapy

How it works

Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Vildagliptin (a DPP-4 inhibitor) increases incretin hormones, enhancing glucose-dependent insulin release and reducing glucagon. Glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) stimulates insulin release from pancreatic beta cells to lower blood glucose.

Directions for use

Take orally exactly as prescribed, usually once daily with food (preferably with the main meal) to reduce stomach upset and hypoglycaemia risk. Swallow whole; do not crush/chew (especially if sustained/extended release). Monitor blood glucose regularly; follow diet and exercise advice.
