VOAGE S TABLET 15'S

How VOAGE S TABLET 15'S Works

• VOAGE S Tablet 15'S is a combination medication designed to manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It combines Voglibose and Sustained Release Metformin, each contributing uniquely to glucose control.
• Voglibose, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, functions primarily in the small intestine. It works by delaying the absorption of carbohydrates from the food we eat. Enzymes called alpha-glucosidases are responsible for breaking down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars like glucose, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. Voglibose inhibits these enzymes, slowing down the breakdown process. This, in turn, reduces the rapid rise in blood sugar levels that typically occurs after meals (postprandial hyperglycemia). By flattening the post-meal glucose spike, Voglibose helps to maintain more stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.
• Sustained Release Metformin, on the other hand, works through several mechanisms to lower blood sugar. Firstly, it decreases the production of glucose in the liver. The liver is capable of producing glucose from stored glycogen (glycogenolysis) or from non-carbohydrate sources (gluconeogenesis). Metformin inhibits both of these processes, thereby reducing the amount of glucose released into the bloodstream. Secondly, Metformin improves the body's sensitivity to insulin. Insulin is a hormone that allows glucose to enter cells for energy. In type 2 diabetes, cells often become resistant to insulin, requiring more insulin to achieve the same effect. Metformin helps to overcome this resistance, allowing glucose to be utilized more effectively by cells. Thirdly, Metformin slightly slows down the absorption of glucose from the intestines, further contributing to the overall reduction in blood sugar levels. The sustained-release formulation of Metformin allows for a gradual release of the drug, minimizing gastrointestinal side effects and providing a more consistent effect over time.
• In essence, VOAGE S Tablet 15'S employs a two-pronged approach: Voglibose targets post-meal glucose spikes by slowing carbohydrate absorption, while Sustained Release Metformin reduces liver glucose production, enhances insulin sensitivity, and modestly reduces intestinal glucose absorption. This synergistic action provides comprehensive blood sugar control for individuals with type 2 diabetes, helping them to achieve and maintain healthier glucose levels.

Keep a log of your blood sugar readings to share with your doctor.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking, as they may interact with VOAGE S TABLET 15'S. Certain medications can affect blood sugar levels, either increasing or decreasing them, so it's crucial to provide a complete medication list to your healthcare provider. Also, be aware of potential side effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort and report them to your doctor.

• VOAGE S TABLET 15'S can be taken with or without food. However, it is recommended to take it at a fixed time to maintain consistent levels of the medication in your body.
