Composition of Voglus 0.2

Voglus 0.2 contains Voglibose 0.2 mg. It belongs to the Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor class of medicines.

Uses of Voglus 0.2

  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus: to control post‑prandial (after meals) blood glucose
  • usually as add‑on to diet/exercise and/or other antidiabetic medicines.

Key benefits

  • Controls post‑meal blood sugar
  • Helps improve HbA1c when added to other therapy
  • Works locally in gut with minimal systemic absorption
  • Useful when diet/exercise alone are insufficient

How Voglus 0.2 works

Voglibose is an alpha‑glucosidase inhibitor that delays digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine. This reduces the rise in blood glucose after meals and helps improve overall glycaemic control.

How to take Voglus 0.2

Oral tablet. Take as prescribed, typically just before the start of each main meal (or with the first bite). Follow diet and exercise advice; do not skip meals if used with other antidiabetics. If a dose is missed, take with the next meal; do not double dose.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine may cause low blood sugar and marked stomach upset. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Voglus 0.2

Most side effects of Voglus are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:

  • Flatulence
  • abdominal pain
  • diarrhoea
  • bloating
  • nausea

Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

When used with insulin/sulfonylureas, hypoglycaemia may occur—treat low sugar with oral glucose/dextrose (table sugar may be less effective due to delayed sucrose breakdown).
