How Vosafe M 0.2/500 MG Tablet 10 Works?

Vosafe M 0.2/500 MG Tablet 10 Tablet contains two active ingredients which work in synergy:

Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient is part of the biguanide class of antidiabetic medicines. It works by reducing glucose production by the liver and decreasing glucose absorption from your intestines. Additionally, it enhances your body's sensitivity to insulin, helping increase peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation.
Voglibose (0.2 mg): Classified as an alpha-glucosidase enzyme inhibitor, voglibose acts by competitively inhibiting enzymes (like maltase, isomaltase, sucrase, glucoamylase) located in the small intestines' brush borders. By doing so, it slows down the breakdown of complex carbohydrates, thus reducing the rate at which glucose is absorbed into your bloodstream and lowering post-meal high blood sugar levels.
