Overview Afomet VG 1mg/500mg/0.2mg Tablet

Voglibose/Metformin/Pioglitazone tablets (1mg/500mg/0.2mg) are antidiabetic agents used in managing type 2 diabetes in adults. This combination therapy regulates blood glucose. Administer this medication with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal efficacy. Dosage is determined by your physician and may adjust based on blood sugar monitoring. Continuous use is crucial; discontinuation without medical consultation risks elevated blood sugar, potentially leading to kidney complications, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. Remember, it's part of a comprehensive treatment plan encompassing diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle choices significantly impact diabetes control. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a prevalent side effect, characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors. Regular meals and readily available glucose sources (e.g., sugary foods, juice) are essential. Alcohol consumption elevates hypoglycemia risk and should be limited. Other potential side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, edema, blurred vision, fractures, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. This medication is contraindicated in type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe hepatic or renal impairment. Inform your doctor of any heart conditions before starting treatment; pregnancy or breastfeeding necessitates medical consultation. Regular blood glucose monitoring and periodic blood tests (blood cell counts, liver function) are recommended.
