What is Volibo 0.2 Tablet used for?

Type 2 diabetes mellitus; used to reduce post-meal (postprandial) blood glucose as an add-on to diet/exercise and other antidiabetic medicines

How Volibo 0.2 Tablet Works

Voglibose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that delays carbohydrate digestion in the small intestine. This slows glucose absorption after meals, thereby reducing postprandial blood sugar spikes.

Dosage & Directions

Oral tablet. Usually taken immediately before the start of each main meal (or with the first bite of food) as prescribed. If you skip a meal, skip the dose. Follow diet and exercise advice and monitor blood glucose regularly.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.

Key Benefits

Reduces post-meal blood sugar spikes
Improves overall glycaemic control as add-on therapy
Helps lower HbA1c over time when used regularly
Useful in carbohydrate-rich diets

Pregnancy

Consult doctor (insufficient human data; use only if clearly needed)

Alcohol Interaction

Use with caution (alcohol may affect blood sugar control and increase risk of hypoglycaemia when used with other antidiabetics)
