Voglibose (0.2mg) + Glimepiride (2mg) + Metformin (500mg)
Active composition
+2 more active ingredients
Voglibose inhibits intestinal alpha-glucosidases, delaying carbohydrate digestion and absorption, thus lowering postprandial glucose levels.
Glimepiride stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells and enhances insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, facilitating glucose uptake and lowering blood sugar levels.
Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and enhances peripheral insulin sensitivity, lowering blood glucose levels.
Medical applications
Metffil VG 2 Tablet SR is a combination oral hypoglycemic agent formulated to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains Glimepiride 2 mg, Metformin 500 mg, and Voglibose 0.2 mg. Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea class drug, stimulates pancreatic beta cells to increase insulin secretion, thereby reducing blood glucose levels. Metformin, a biguanide, primarily acts by decreasing hepatic glucose production and enhancing peripheral insulin sensitivity, contributing to improved glucose uptake and utilization. Voglibose, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, delays carbohydrate absorption from the intestines, effectively reducing postprandial hyperglycemia. The sustained-release formulation ensures prolonged therapeutic effects, promoting better patient compliance through reduced dosing frequency. Metffil VG 2 Tablet SR is indicated for patients inadequately controlled on diet and exercise alone or on monotherapy with any of its components. It is essential to monitor blood glucose levels regularly and adjust the dosage based on glycemic response. Caution is advised in patients with renal or hepatic impairment, and it is contraindicated in individuals with diabetic ketoacidosis, severe infections, or hypersensitivity to any component. This combination therapy offers a multifaceted approach to glycemic management by targeting different pathophysiological mechanisms of type 2 diabetes.
