Cetapin V 0.2mg Tablet 15 is a combination medication with two active ingredients working together to lower blood glucose:

• Metformin (500 mg): This component primarily reduces the amount of glucose produced by your liver, a process called gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. Additionally, it boosts insulin sensitivity, which allows your body to use more glucose effectively and delays glucose absorption from your gut.

• Voglibose (0.2 mg): Voglibose acts in the small intestine, where it blocks enzymes known as alpha-glucosidases. These enzymes usually break down complex sugars into simpler sugars for absorption. By inhibiting these enzymes, voglibose slows down sugar breakdown and absorption, thereby reducing a rapid rise in blood sugar after meals.
