How VOGLITRIO 0.3MG TABLET Works
VOGLITRIO 0.3MG TABLET works effectively against diabetes, where Gliclazide acts by stimulating the secretion of insulin (a hormone that signals throughout the body to absorb glucose and regulate the blood sugar level) through beta-cell sulphonyl urea receptors. Metformin works by decreasing glucose production in the liver (gluconeogenesis) and increasing insulin sensitivity to absorb glucose. Voglibose inhibits the alpha-glucosidase in the intestine and manages the absorption of glucose from food, thereby reducing the blood sugar level.
