What is Volix R 0.3/1MG Tab used for?

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (as add-on to diet and exercise) to control post-meal (postprandial) blood sugar; used when single therapy is insufficient.

How Volix R 0.3/1MG Tab Works

Voglibose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that delays carbohydrate digestion and glucose absorption in the intestine, reducing post-meal glucose spikes. Repaglinide is a meglitinide that stimulates pancreatic insulin release by closing ATP-sensitive potassium channels in beta cells, mainly lowering postprandial glucose.

Dosage & Directions

Oral tablet. Take as prescribed, typically just before meals (0–30 minutes before); if you skip a meal, skip the dose to reduce hypoglycaemia risk. Follow diet/exercise plan; monitor blood glucose regularly.

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

Reduces post-meal blood sugar spikes
Improves overall glycaemic control as add-on therapy
Flexible mealtime dosing
