About Volga R 1mg/0.2mg Tablet

REPAGLINIDE+VOGLIBOSE is a combination drug that belongs to the anti-diabetic 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.

REPAGLINIDE+VOGLIBOSE is composed of two medicines, namely Repaglinide and voglibose. Repaglinide increases the amount of insulin released by the pancreas by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin to your body and helps regulate the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Voglibose helps control the amount of glucose (sugars) in the blood by inhibiting the intestinal enzyme (alpha-glucosidase) and delaying the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine. Altogether, they prevent blood sugar from rising very high after meals.
