Voglistat M 0.2 Tab — Side Effects & Warnings

For prescription use in type 2 diabetes only. Metformin may rarely cause lactic acidosis—seek urgent care for rapid breathing, severe weakness, unusual sleepiness, abdominal pain, or muscle cramps; risk increases with kidney disease, dehydration, sepsis, heavy alcohol use, and severe heart/liver disease. Avoid in severe renal impairment; kidney function should be assessed before and during treatment. Hold metformin temporarily around iodinated contrast imaging or major surgery as advised. Voglibose commonly causes gas/diarrhea; avoid in inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal obstruction, or chronic intestinal disorders. Monitor blood glucose and HbA1c; risk of hypoglycemia increases if used with insulin/sulfonylureas (treat low sugar with glucose/dextrose, not sucrose).
