About Vogli-Rapid M 0.5mg Tablet

Vogli-Rapid M 0.5mg Tablet is a combination drug that belongs to the antidiabetic class. It is primarily used to treat Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood to become too high. It's a lifelong condition that can affect your everyday life. You may need to change your diet, take medicines and have regular check-ups to lead a normal life.

Vogli-Rapid M 0.5mg Tablet contains Voglibose, Repaglinide, and Metformin Hydrochloride. Voglibose inhibits the enzymes in the intestine that break down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars like glucose, slowing glucose absorption. Repaglinide stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin and helps manage the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood by increasing the amount of insulin generated by the pancreas. Metformin decreases glucose synthesis in the liver, slows glucose absorption in the intestines, and boosts insulin sensitivity. They collaborate to maintain blood glucose levels that are consistent throughout the day.
