What is this medicine?
VOGLIBOZ-0.3 contains Voglibose, which is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor. This medicine is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly to control postprandial (after-meal) blood sugar spikes. It works by inhibiting the enzymes that break down carbohydrates in the intestine, thereby slowing glucose absorption.
