Vogs-GM 2 Tablet (Glimepiride 2mg / Metformin 500mg / Voglibose 0.2mg)

Vogs-GM 2 Tablet 15’s is a combination of anti-diabetic drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes mellites. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong condition that affects the way your body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or if at all the insulin is produced, it is unable to perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Due to this, the blood glucose level increases and causes symptoms such as frequent urination, increased thirst and increased hunger start.

Vogs-GM 2 Tablet 15’s is a combination of three antidiabetic drugs: Glimepiride, Metformin and Voglibose. Glimepiride, which is a ‘sulfonylurea’, acts by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. Metformin, which is a ‘biguanide’, acts by lowering the glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines and increasing the body’s response to insulin. Voglibose, which is an ‘alpha-glucosidase inhibitor’, prevents the breakdown of complex sugars into simple sugars such as glucose in the intestine. In a nutshell, the three medicines together prevent the blood glucose levels from rising to very high levels, thus keeping your diabetes under control.

Vogs-GM 2 Tablet 15’s should be taken with food to avoid an upset stomach. Based on your medical condition, your doctor will decide for how long you need to take Vogs-GM 2 Tablet 15’s.
