Volibo R 0.3/0.5 mg
Volibo R 0.3/0.5 mg is a fixed-dose combination medicine containing voglibose and repaglinide. It is prescribed to control high blood sugar levels after each meal. Volibo R is used when other similar medicines and a restricted diet can’t control abnormally high sugar levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance and progressive pancreatic beta cell function decline associated with increased blood sugar. The net result is that more glucose (sugar) enters the circulation faster than the body can remove it, resulting in prolonged elevation of blood glucose.
Voglibose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that provides another therapeutic option for patients with type 2 diabetes whose glycaemic control is inadequate, despite diet alone or with pharmacological therapy with sulfonylurea and biguanide. Repaglinide helps the body to release more insulin. The combination drug is effective in treating elderly patients and in those with mild to moderate kidney function impairment when other antidiabetic agents are ineffective.
How to use
Volibo R 0.3/0.5 mg should be taken as prescribed; your doctor will decide the dose and duration. Do not stop treatment without your doctor’s approval. If you do so, your blood sugar levels may increase, making you more likely to get serious complications like blindness and kidney damage.

Keep a check on your blood sugar levels. Tracking and sharing the results with your doctor is important to determine the correct dose. Tell him if your blood sugar levels are too high or too low, he may change the treatment accordingly.
