Volibo 0.3 MG Tablet Health Feed

Dear lybrate-user
this is Dr. alwin christopher, geriatrician located at coimbatore
you can safely cut vogo 0.3 alone, and repeat a sugar fasting after 2 weeks. If fasting sugar is less than 110, continue stopping vogo, if it is more than 110, then restart vogo at low dose 0.2 mg for post dinner.

overdose of medicine specially for Diabetes reduce your blood sugar level, always take care of dosage,once it happens may not give you many side effects but take care in future as vogo also have side effects on the abdominal condition.
always follow proper balance diet
exercise schedule
timely medicine

Mr Laxman, Thanks for the query.
Based on given information, there is no way to suggest any other drug. Following details are needed : Fasting, PP glucose levels, HbA1c%, weight, height, diet pattern, extent of daily exercise, lipid profile, BP readings, serum creatinine and urea. Please come back with all the above details, then I will be able to guide. Thanks.

Please attach your bsl reports. As 190 is fasting or pp. Kindly consult privately for personalised management.

Such high hba1c level is not at all satisfactory. Pls mention your fbs ppbs, s creatinine level, s lipid profile level. Treatment is not at all satisfactory. You can consult online with all reports. Definitely it can be taken down.

Continue same dose for 2 weeks and then repeat fasting and pp blood sugar and inform.

Usually giving more than 4 mg of glimiperide a day does not really help. However, she was on 8 mg, which is too high. In addition ther...more

Yes metformin and voglibose be taken at a same time. Both are the diabetic medications,and Voglibose prevents absorption of sugar from foods whereas the metformin controls insulin effects
