What is Gluconorm Vg-1 Forte Tab used for?

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.

How Gluconorm Vg-1 Forte Tab 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.

Dosage & Directions

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.

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