Voloxia M 500 mg/0.2 mg Tablet ER belongs to the class of anti-diabetic drugs used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar levels. It occurs when the insulin (a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas) is resistant in breaking down glucose to produce energy (insulin resistance) or the pancreas (an organ behind the stomach) produces little or no insulin at all.

Voloxia M 500 mg/0.2 mg Tablet ER contains Voglibose and Metformin. Voglibose belongs to the class of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. It acts by inhibiting the intestinal enzymes, which break complex sugars into simple sugars such as glucose. This process prevents the rise of blood glucose levels. Metformin belongs to the class of biguanides and exhibits a non-pancreatic effect to reduce serum glucose levels without increasing insulin secretion. It is also known as an insulin sensitiser as it increases the effects of insulin.

Voloxia M 500 mg/0.2 mg Tablet ER is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is a combination of Voglibose and Metformin. Voglibose belongs to the class of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. It delays glucose absorption by inhibiting the intestinal enzymes, which break complex sugars into simple sugars such as glucose. This process prevents the rise of blood glucose levels immediately after meals. Metformin belongs to the class of biguanides. It demonstrates the non-pancreatic effect of reducing serum glucose levels without increasing insulin secretion. It is also known as an insulin sensitiser as it increases the effects of insulin. Together, Voloxia M 500 mg/0.2 mg Tablet ER helps treat diabetes mellitus type 2.

Do not take Voloxia M 500 mg/0.2 mg Tablet ER if you are allergic to any of its components.
