What is this medicine?
VOGLIDIB 0.3 mg contains Voglibose, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor. This medicine is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially to control postprandial (after-meal) blood glucose spikes. It works by delaying the absorption of glucose from the intestines by inhibiting carbohydrate-digesting enzymes.
