Voglibose is an alpha‑glucosidase inhibitor that delays intestinal carbohydrate digestion and absorption, reducing post-meal glucose spikes. Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, helping lower fasting and overall blood glucose.

Safety advice for Voglistat M 0.3 Tablet

Warnings and precautions

For type 2 diabetes only. Metformin may rarely cause lactic acidosis—risk increases with kidney disease, dehydration, severe infection, hypoxia/heart failure, liver disease, or excess alcohol; seek urgent care for rapid breathing, severe weakness, abdominal pain, or unusual sleepiness. Check kidney function before and during use; dose adjustment/avoid in significant renal impairment. Temporary stop may be needed before iodinated contrast studies or major surgery (as advised by doctor). Voglibose can cause gastrointestinal upset; start low and titrate. Risk of hypoglycaemia increases if used with insulin/sulfonylureas—monitor sugars; treat low sugar with glucose (dextrose) rather than sucrose as absorption may be delayed. Vitamin B12 levels may decrease with long-term metformin use.
