The Cetapin V 0.3mg Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Voglibose (0.3 mg): Classified as an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, voglibose acts on intestinal enzymes responsible for breaking down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. By slowing down this process, it reduces and delays the absorption of glucose after a meal, thus lowering post-meal blood sugar levels.

• Metformin (500 mg): As a biguanide class anti-diabetic agent, metformin primarily functions to decrease glucose production in the liver (a process known as gluconeogenesis). Furthermore, it improves insulin sensitivity which helps increase the uptake and utilisation of glucose in peripheral tissues while decreasing absorption of glucose from the intestine.
