What is Volibo R 0.3/0.5MG Tab used for?

Type 2 diabetes mellitus: to control post‑meal (postprandial) blood glucose in adults when diet and exercise alone or single therapy is inadequate.

How Volibo R 0.3/0.5MG Tab Works

Repaglinide stimulates the pancreas to release insulin quickly after meals, lowering blood glucose. Voglibose inhibits intestinal alpha‑glucosidase enzymes, delaying carbohydrate digestion and glucose absorption, thereby reducing post‑meal sugar spikes.

Dosage & Directions

Take by mouth exactly as prescribed. Usually taken shortly (about 15–30 minutes) before meals; if you skip a meal, skip that dose to reduce hypoglycaemia risk. Swallow with water; follow diet/exercise advice and monitor blood glucose as directed.

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

Key Benefits

Reduces post‑meal blood sugar spikes
Improves overall glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes
Rapid mealtime glucose lowering
Helps when single therapy is insufficient

Pregnancy

Consult doctor (generally not recommended unless clearly needed; insulin is preferred in pregnancy).

Alcohol Interaction

Use with caution (can increase risk of hypoglycaemia).
