Volibo R 0.2/0.5mg
Volibo R 0.2/0.5mg is a combination of Repaglinide and Voglibose, which belongs to the group of medicines called antidiabetic agents. It is primarily used for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a health condition in which your cells do not normally respond to insulin, a hormone that regulates how your body utilizes sugar. This leads to increased blood sugar, leading to serious health complications.
Repaglinide works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. At the same time, Voglibose causes the breakdown of complex sugars into simple sugar such as glucose. Together, they prevent the elevation of blood sugar after meals. You may be advised to take Volibo R with a healthy diet, exercise, and other antidiabetic agents to control blood sugar.
How to use
You may be advised to take Volibo R around fifteen minutes before a main meal. While receiving this antidiabetic agent, making certain lifestyle modifications, such as consuming a healthy and balanced diet, staying active, quitting smoking, and regularly monitoring your blood sugar level, is essential. This helps to manage your condition and improves your health. Always carry some sugary food to manage symptoms of low blood sugar levels, including pale skin, cold sweats, anxiety, and tremors.
Precautions
Volibo R is not recommended for use in patients allergic to repaglinide and Voglibose. It can cause low blood sugar levels with other antidiabetic agents, alcohol, or if you delay a meal. The fixed-dose antidiabetic medicine is not recommended in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis (one of the most serious complications of diabetes mellitus), severe infection, gastrointestinal obstruction, and moderate to severe liver disease. Before taking Voglibose/repaglinide, let your doctor know if you are scheduled for major surgery or have a severe illness, trauma, fever, chronic intestinal disease, and kidney problems.
Check with your doctor before using this medicine if the following conditions apply to you:
- Pregnancy or women planning for pregnancy.
- Breastfeeding women.
- The antidiabetic agent should not be given to children and adolescents (under 18 years) and to the elderly (aged above 75 years).
Side effects
This combination medication's most common side effects include diarrhoea, flatulence, stomach pain, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and skin rash. However, these are temporary and usually resolve on their own. Please consult your doctor if these do not resolve or persist for longer. Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while taking this medicine.
