Overview
Distributor inventory | Tablet
Uses & Benefits
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (adult) when blood sugar is not adequately controlled with diet, exercise and/or single/dual oral antidiabetic therapy; helps control post‑meal and fasting glucose
How It Works
Glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) increases insulin release from the pancreas. Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Voglibose inhibits intestinal alpha‑glucosidase enzymes, delaying carbohydrate absorption and reducing post‑meal blood sugar spikes.
Directions for Use
Tablet for oral use. Usually taken once daily with food (typically with the first main meal) or as directed by the doctor; swallow whole (do not crush/chew if MR/SR). Follow diet/exercise plan and monitor blood glucose regularly.
Side Effects
Hypoglycaemia, dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, flatulence, bloating, loss of appetite, metallic taste
Warnings & Precautions
Risk of hypoglycaemia (higher with missed meals, alcohol, excessive exercise, elderly, kidney/liver impairment); metformin may rarely cause lactic acidosis—seek urgent care for fast breathing, severe weakness, abdominal pain, unusual sleepiness. Use caution in renal impairment; periodic kidney function tests advised. Hold metformin component before/after iodinated contrast procedures and major surgery as advised by doctor. Avoid in severe renal failure, severe liver disease, alcohol abuse, diabetic ketoacidosis/type 1 diabetes. Monitor for vitamin B12 deficiency with long-term use.
