Vobose M 0.2 Tablet 10 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.

• It is advisable to keep it protected from direct sunlight and moisture.

• As Vobose M 0.2 Tablet 10 is used to manage type 2 diabetes, you should follow a balanced diet with low sugar and carbohydrates. This will help control your blood glucose levels along with regular use of the medicine.

• Regular physical exercise like walking, cycling, or yoga can help manage your blood sugar levels and make the medicine more effective. You may find your doctor recommending such activities if they are suitable for your overall health condition.
