Vogliboz 0.2mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Description
Vogliboz tablet is an antidiabetic medicine containing voglibose, used to help manage type II diabetes by improving your blood glucose levels after meals, known as postprandial hyperglycemia. It works as an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, a mechanism that slows down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in your intestine. This action prevents the sharp spike in blood sugar that typically occurs following a meal. This medicine is prescribed to be taken with a controlled diet and regular exercise to achieve optimal results in managing diabetes.
Take Vogliboz tablet exactly as your doctor directs. Swallow the whole tablet with a glass of water, just before each meal. Taking it just before a meal is essential for its mechanism of action to effectively delay carbohydrate absorption. It is recommended to take your dose at a fixed time each day and not to miss any doses. You should also inform your healthcare provider of your complete medical history, including any digestive system blockages or recent severe trauma/infection.
While this medicine is generally well-tolerated, you may experience some common side effects, primarily related to the digestive system, such as stomach pain, diarrhoea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite. It's essential to be aware of the signs of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), such as headaches, sweating, tremors, hunger pangs, and confusion, especially if you are taking other diabetes medications like insulin or glimepiride. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience these symptoms for appropriate management.
Before taking Vogliboz Tablet, consult your doctor if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. There is limited safety data during pregnancy, and its components pass into breast milk, so breastfeeding may need to stop if prescribed. Exercise caution with alcohol, as excessive or frequent consumption can lead to low blood glucose. Also, inform your doctor about all other medicines, supplements, or herbals you are currently taking to prevent potential interactions.
