Composition of Voglus M
Voglus M contains Metformin (500mg) + Voglibose (0.2mg). It belongs to the Biguanide + Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor (likely) class of medicines.
Uses of Voglus M
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (to help control blood sugar) when diet and exercise alone are not enough; usually used as add-on therapy.
Key benefits
- Helps reduce fasting blood glucose
- Reduces post-meal sugar spikes
- Improves insulin sensitivity
- May support better HbA1c control
How Voglus M works
VOGLUS M is likely a combination of an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor (voglibose) with metformin. Voglibose delays carbohydrate absorption from the intestine and reduces post-meal sugar spikes, while metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity.
How to take Voglus M
Take by mouth as prescribed by your doctor. If it contains voglibose, it is usually taken just before meals/with the first bite to control post-meal glucose; metformin-containing tablets are commonly taken with food to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole with water; do not crush or chew unless advised.
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 can cause a dangerous build-up of acid in the blood, with vomiting, severe weakness and laboured breathing. It 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 M
Most side effects of Voglus M are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
- Nausea
- vomiting
- diarrhoea
- abdominal pain
- flatulence
- bloating
- loss of appetite
- metallic taste
- headache
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.

Warnings and precautions
Prescription medicine. Monitor blood glucose regularly. Metformin may rarely cause lactic acidosis (risk higher with kidney disease, severe infection, dehydration, heavy alcohol use, or severe heart/liver disease); seek urgent care for rapid breathing, severe weakness, or unusual sleepiness. If undergoing contrast (dye) imaging or surgery, metformin may need to be stopped temporarily—consult doctor. Voglibose may cause gas/diarrhoea; start-low/go-slow often helps. Use caution in elderly and in renal/hepatic impairment; dose adjustment/avoidance may be needed. Treat hypoglycaemia with glucose (dextrose) if used with other antidiabetics; sucrose may be less effective if voglibose is present.
Do not take Voglus M if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for people with severe kidney disease, severe liver disease, or an acute illness causing dehydration. Not for people who have had diabetic ketoacidosis. Not for type 1 diabetes or for diabetic ketoacidosis. Not for people with heart failure, active bladder cancer or unexplained blood in the urine.
Interactions with other medicines
Alcohol (increases lactic acidosis risk with metformin), iodinated contrast media, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (e.g., topiramate, acetazolamide), cimetidine, diuretics, corticosteroids, thyroid hormones, rifampicin, other antidiabetics (insulin/sulfonylureas) may increase hypoglycaemia risk, drugs affecting renal function
How to store Voglus M
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Expert advice for Voglus M
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. 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.
