Description

Voglistar-plus 0.2mg 10Tab is a combination medicine that helps control blood sugar levels. This medicine is used together with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Lowering blood glucose levels is an essential part of managing diabetes.  Voglistar-plus 0.2mg is a combination of two anti diabetic drugs, namely: Metformin and Voglibose. Metformin works by reducing the sugar production by cells in the liver and delays sugar absorption from the intestines and increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin which enables these cells to remove sugar more effectively from the blood. Voglibose delays digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the intestines and thereby prevents a spike in blood glucose levels that occur after a meal.
