Voglibose
Active pharmaceutical substance formulated in Jan Aushadhi generic products for Diabetes & Endocrine treatment.
🧴 Clinical Application
Take orally immediately with the very first bite of each main meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) with a sip of water. Taking before or after meals significantly reduces therapeutic efficacy.
⚠️ Side Effects
Common: Flatulence, abdominal distension, diarrhea, borborygmi (stomach rumbling), soft stools. Rare/Severe: Severe hepatic dysfunction (rare hepatitis) and intestinal obstruction.
🛡️ Safety Warnings
In the event of acute hypoglycemia (when combined with sulfonylureas or insulin), patients MUST be treated with pure glucose (dextrose) tablets/solution; table sugar (sucrose) will NOT work because voglibose blocks sucrose digestion. Contraindicated in severe gastrointestinal disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, and intestinal obstruction.

Found 16 generic formulation(s) containing this active ingredient.
Voglibose Tablets 0.3 mg
Voglibose (0.2 mg, 0.3 mg) is an oral alpha-glucosidase inhibitor. It competitively and reversibly inhibits brush-border alpha-glucosidases (sucrase, maltase, isomaltase) in the small intestinal mucosa, delaying the enzymatic hydrolysis of dietary disaccharides and complex carbohydrates into absorbable monosaccharides, specifically flattening the postprandial glucose spike without stimulating insulin. Indicated for postprandial hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Voglibose Tablets 0.2 mg
Voglibose (0.2 mg, 0.3 mg) is an oral alpha-glucosidase inhibitor. It competitively and reversibly inhibits brush-border alpha-glucosidases (sucrase, maltase, isomaltase) in the small intestinal mucosa, delaying the enzymatic hydrolysis of dietary disaccharides and complex carbohydrates into absorbable monosaccharides, specifically flattening the postprandial glucose spike without stimulating insulin. Indicated for postprandial hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Metformin Hydrochloride 500mg (Sustained Release) + Voglibose 0.2mg Tablets
Metformin Hydrochloride is the foundational first-line biguanide oral antihyperglycemic agent on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the liver, suppressing mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I, thereby potently inhibiting hepatic gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, while stimulating peripheral glucose uptake into skeletal muscle and delaying intestinal glucose absorption. Does not stimulate beta-cell insulin secretion, having zero intrinsic hypoglycemia risk and promoting weight neutrality or mild weight loss. Indicated as the initial pharmacological drug of choice for type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults and children aged 10 and older, and off-label in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Metformin Hydrochloride 500mg (Sustained Release) + Glimepiride 2mg + Voglibose 0.2mg Tablets
Metformin Hydrochloride and Glimepiride is a cornerstone dual-action antidiabetic combination on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. Metformin acts as an insulin-sensitizing biguanide that reduces excessive hepatic glucose output and improves peripheral glucose uptake without causing hypoglycemia or weight gain, while glimepiride acts as an insulin secretagogue, binding to SUR1 receptors on pancreatic beta-cell membranes to stimulate physiological postprandial insulin release. Indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise in type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled by metformin alone.

Voglibose + Metformin + Gliclazide Tablet (0.2/500/80 Mg)
Metformin Hydrochloride and Gliclazide (Modified Release) combines an insulin sensitizer with a selectively reversible sulfonylurea. Gliclazide selectively binds to pancreatic beta-cell SUR1 receptors with fast on-off association kinetics, restoring the physiological first-phase insulin secretory burst and offering lower hypoglycemia risk than glibenclamide, while metformin reduces hepatic glucose output. Indicated for type 2 diabetes mellitus when monotherapy provides insufficient glycemic control.
