Shortepa V 1.3 Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients that work together to control blood sugar levels:

• Repaglinide (1 mg): This component stimulates the pancreas to release insulin. It works by binding to specific channels on pancreatic beta cells, causing them to close and triggering a series of reactions that ultimately lead to insulin secretion.

• Voglibose (0.3 mg): This ingredient slows down carbohydrate digestion in your intestines. It works by inhibiting enzymes called alpha-glucosidases that break down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars, thereby reducing the spike in blood glucose levels that typically occurs after meals.

• Store Shortepa V 1.3 Tablet 10 at room temperature below 30°C.

• Keep the container tightly closed to protect from moisture.

• Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Keep this medicine out of sight and reach of children.

• Do not use Shortepa V 1.3 Tablet 10 after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• Monitor your carbohydrate intake and choose complex carbohydrates (whole grains, vegetables) over simple sugars to help maintain steady blood glucose (sugar) levels throughout the day.

• Engage in regular physical activity, such as a 30-minute daily walk, which helps improve your body's insulin sensitivity and supports better blood sugar control.
