Voglibose is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is used along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

How Voglibose works

Voglibose is an anti-diabetic medicine. It inhibits the intestinal enzymes responsible for breaking complex sugars into simple sugars such as glucose. This prevents blood glucose levels from rising very high immediately after meals.

• Voglibose is used together with other diabetes medicines to control blood sugar and avoid long-term complications.
• You should continue to exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and take your other diabetes medicines along with Voglibose.
• Voglibose lowers your post-meal blood sugar levels. Therefore, it should be taken before meals.
• Side effects such as stomach pain, gas, and diarrhea may occur during the first few weeks of treatment but should get better with time.
