Description


Uses

Prandial (Metformin Hydrochloride IP/Voglibose) is used for type 2 diabetes. It works by decreasing hepatic sugar production and slowing down glucose absorption. This helps to prevent a sudden surge in blood glucose occurring after the consumption of a meal (postprandial hyperglycemia). Two different active ingredients are contained in this medicine, both of which work differently to manage and control diabetes. Metformin is classified as a biguanide, and it functions as an antihyperglycemic agent.

Patients are often treated with it when exercise and diet alone have proven unsuccessful at controlling blood glucose levels. Its mechanism of action involves reducing the volume of sugar that the liver produces, causing certain cells in the body to become more sensitive to insulin so as to allow for the further reduction of sugar from the blood and by decreasing intestinal glucose absorption. Voglibose belongs to the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor class of medications and it is indicated for the reduction of blood sugar levels after a meal has been consumed. It works by causing a delay in sugar absorption.

Dosage and Administration

Prandial (Metformin Hydrochloride IP/Voglibose) is provided in tablet form and is taken by mouth. However, before treatment can begin, your physician will need to assess the seriousness of your symptoms and your medical history so that the correct dosage can be calculated. You will be told by the physician when it is to be taken, as well as how much you need to administer. Under no circumstances should the recommended dosage be exceeded.

Side effects

Should any side effects occur while you are taking Prandial (Metformin Hydrochloride IP/Voglibose) tablets, ensure that you tell the physician. Examples include:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Poor appetite
  • Disturbed metallic taste
  • Pain which affects the stomach

All reactions that occur must be reported to the physician responsible for treatment. Get medical help straight away should you suffer from liver problems, fever, sudden body weight increases, numbness, weakness or any other serious side effects that have not been referenced here.

Precautions

Although rare, Prandial (Metformin Hydrochloride IP/Voglibose) may cause a serious condition in which lactic acid builds up in the body (lactic acidosis). Immediate medical attention will be needed if any symptoms of this occur.

Do not consume alcoholic beverages, as doing so will affect blood sugar levels and could even increase the risk of lactic acidosis.

Regular checking of blood sugar levels will be required, and in some cases, your physician may order blood tests. Ensure that you attend all scheduled medical appointments.
