Shinovog 0.3 Tablet 10 contains Voglibose (0.3 mg), which works as follows:

• Voglibose works by inhibiting certain enzymes (known as alpha-glucosidase enzymes) in the small intestines.

• These enzymes usually break down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars for absorption into the bloodstream.

• By slowing down this process, voglibose reduces spikes in blood sugar levels after meals.

• Shield the medicine from direct light and moisture.

• Ensure it's stored in a childproof container, out of children's reach.

• Always check the expiry date before taking a dose.

• Regular physical activity: Engage in moderate exercise like brisk walking or cycling for at least 30 minutes daily. This can help manage your blood sugar levels effectively.

• Balanced diet: Include high-fibre foods such as whole grains and leafy vegetables in your meals. Limit intake of sugary foods and drinks to avoid blood sugar spikes.
