How Vobose M 0.3 mg Tablet works

Voglibose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that delays carbohydrate digestion and absorption in the intestine, reducing post-meal glucose spikes. Metformin decreases glucose production by the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, helping the body use glucose better.

Temporary stoppage may be needed before iodinated contrast imaging or major surgery (as per doctor). Risk of hypoglycaemia increases if used with insulin or sulfonylureas.

Expert advice for Vobose M 0.3 mg Tablet

Take it with the first mouthful of your meal so it can act on that meal. Expect some wind in the first weeks; it usually settles. Take it with or just after food to reduce stomach upset. Keep taking it even when your sugar readings look normal — that is the medicine working. Continue your diet and physical activity; this medicine works alongside them, not instead of them.
