Take the missed dose of Volix as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.
If you take too much
Taking more Volix than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.

Warnings and precautions
Not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Use with caution in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal obstruction, malabsorption syndromes, or major gastrointestinal disorders. Monitor liver enzymes if advised; stop and consult a doctor if jaundice or persistent abdominal symptoms occur. Risk of hypoglycaemia increases when combined with insulin/sulfonylureas; treat low sugar with glucose/dextrose (table sugar may act slower due to this medicine).
Interactions with other medicines
Insulin, sulfonylureas (e.g., glimepiride, gliclazide) may increase hypoglycaemia risk; intestinal adsorbents (e.g., activated charcoal) and digestive enzyme preparations may reduce effect; other antidiabetic medicines may have additive glucose-lowering effects.
