Voglihans M 500mg/0.3mg Tablet PR is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is a combination of Voglibose and Metformin. Voglibose belongs to the class of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. It delays glucose absorption by inhibiting the intestinal enzymes, which break complex sugars into simple sugars such as glucose. This process prevents the rise of blood glucose levels immediately after meals. Metformin belongs to the class of biguanides. It shows the non-pancreatic effect to reduce serum glucose levels without increasing insulin secretion. It is also known as an insulin sensitizer as it increases the effects of insulin. It is considered to be a unique anti-diabetic drug since it does not lower blood sugar levels. Metformin does not cause weight gain in most cases.
