About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Glyoka-VM1 Tablet SR is a combination oral antidiabetic medication formulated to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains Glimepiride 1 mg, Metformin 500 mg, and Voglibose 0.2 mg, each contributing distinct mechanisms to regulate blood glucose levels. Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea, stimulates pancreatic beta cells to enhance insulin secretion. Metformin, a biguanide, primarily decreases hepatic glucose production and improves peripheral insulin sensitivity, thereby reducing insulin resistance. Voglibose, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, delays carbohydrate absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, mitigating postprandial hyperglycemia. The sustained-release formulation ensures gradual drug release, promoting consistent plasma concentrations and improved patient compliance. Glyoka-VM1 is indicated as adjunctive therapy to diet and exercise for patients inadequately controlled on monotherapy or dual therapy. It should be used cautiously in patients with renal or hepatic impairment and is contraindicated in conditions such as diabetic ketoacidosis, severe renal dysfunction, or hypersensitivity to any component. Regular monitoring of blood glucose, renal function, and potential adverse effects like hypoglycemia, gastrointestinal disturbances, and lactic acidosis is recommended. Glyoka-VM1 Tablet SR offers a comprehensive approach to glycemic management by targeting multiple pathophysiological defects in type 2 diabetes.

About Glimepiride
Glimepiride is an oral hypoglycemic agent used to manage blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, thereby lowering blood glucose levels and preventing the symptoms associated with diabetes. Glimepiride is often prescribed alongside diet and exercise to enhance glycemic control and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications, such as kidney damage and neuropathy. In summary, Glimepiride is an essential medication for controlling blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes patients.
How It Works
Glimepiride stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells and enhances insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, facilitating glucose uptake and lowering blood sugar levels.
All Active Ingredients
Voglibose
Voglibose inhibits intestinal alpha-glucosidases, delaying carbohydrate digestion and absorption, thus lowering postprandial glucose levels.
Metformin
Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and enhances peripheral insulin sensitivity, lowering blood glucose levels.
