Volibo M 0.3/500 mg is an anti-diabetic medicine. It contains Voglibose and repaglinide as the active ingredients. It is used for the treatment of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The antidiabetic agent involves two active ingredients, namely Metformin and repaglinide.  

Metformin - Metformin controls blood glucose levels and decreases complications associated with diabetes. It helps to restore the body’s response to insulin. It decreases the blood sugar the liver produces, which the stomach or intestine absorbs.

Repaglinide - It helps your body regulate the sugar in your blood.

The fixed-dose combination improves your body’s response to insulin and decreases the production of sugar in your body. It also effectively delays the absorption of sugar in your body after a meal.

Your doctor will decide the dose of Volibo for you. Take Volibo M with food. Continue taking this medicine if you feel better or your blood sugar levels are controlled. If you discontinue treatment without consulting your doctor, your blood sugar level could increase, and the risk of developing kidney damage,  nerve problems, blindness, and loss of limbs also increases. Volibo M works best with diet, regular exercise and a weight reduction program, as your doctor advises. Your lifestyle plays a crucial role in controlling diabetes. So make sure you follow a healthy routine.

You should not take Volibo M if you have Type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Before you take this antidiabetic agent, let your doctor know if you have ever had heart disease. The Fixed dose combination drug may not be suitable for patients with cardiovascular health issues. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking it. Your blood sugar levels should be checked regularly, and your doctor may advise blood tests to monitor your blood cell count and liver function.

Volibo M 0.3/500 mg may cause side effects like nausea, loss of appetite, flatulence, diarrhoea, stomach pain and skin rash. However, most of these are temporary and usually subside on their own.   If these do not resolve or become troublesome, please consult your doctor. Your doctor might suggest ways to deal with side effects or treat them if they are bothersome.
