What is this medicine?
VOGLIMORE contains Voglibose, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor. This medicine is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus by controlling postprandial (after-meal) blood sugar levels. It works by slowing the breakdown and absorption of complex carbohydrates in the intestine, thereby preventing spikes in blood sugar after meals.
What should I tell my health care provider before I take this medicine?
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:

inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease)
-

-
severe kidney disease
-
liver disease
-
hernia
-
malabsorption disorders
-
any other stomach or digestive problems
-
an unusual or allergic reaction to voglibose or other medicines
-

Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact a poison control center or emergency room at once.

What should I watch for while using this medicine?
Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly as directed by your doctor.

Carry a glucose tablet or glucose-based candy (not sucrose/table sugar) to treat low blood sugar, as voglibose delays the absorption of sucrose.
Visit your doctor for regular follow-up and lab tests, especially for liver function if used long-term.
Avoid alcohol as it may increase the risk of low blood sugar or interfere with blood glucose control.
