About Vogli-Rapid M 0.5mg Tablet

Vogli-Rapid M 0.5mg Tablet is a combination drug that belongs to the antidiabetic class. It is primarily used to treat Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood to become too high. It's a lifelong condition that can affect your everyday life. You may need to change your diet, take medicines and have regular check-ups to lead a normal life.

Vogli-Rapid M 0.5mg Tablet contains Voglibose, Repaglinide, and Metformin Hydrochloride. Voglibose inhibits the enzymes in the intestine that break down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars like glucose, slowing glucose absorption. Repaglinide stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin and helps manage the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood by increasing the amount of insulin generated by the pancreas. Metformin decreases glucose synthesis in the liver, slows glucose absorption in the intestines, and boosts insulin sensitivity. They collaborate to maintain blood glucose levels that are consistent throughout the day.

Vogli-Rapid M 0.5mg Tablet is a prescription-only medication. You can take Vogli-Rapid M 0.5mg Tablet with food or without food. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite, or break it. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or worsen (if your blood sugar is too high or too low). In some cases, you may experience common side effects, such as Hypoglycaemia, Allergy/ Skin Reactions, Stomach Pain, Diarrhoea, Abdominal Pain, Heartburn, Nausea, and Vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong disease that keeps the body away from properly utilizing insulin. Hence, people with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or resist insulin action. Middle-aged or older are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, also known as adult-onset diabetes. Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination at night, slow wound healing, increased hunger, fatigue, and blurred vision. There may be weight gain in some cases, while weight loss may be observed in rare cases. The complication of type 2 diabetes also includes neuropathy (nerve problems), nephropathy (kidney problems), retinopathy (damaged retina of eyes or blindness), loss of limbs, sexual dysfunction, and an increase in the chance of heart attack or stroke.
