How Gluconorm VG-1 Forte Tablet works
Gluconorm VG-1 Forte Tablet is a combination of three antidiabetic medicines: Glimepiride, metformin and voglibose. They work by different mechanisms to provide better control of blood sugar when single or dual therapy is not effective. Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea which works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas to lower the blood glucose. Metformin is a biguanide which lowers glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from intestines and increases the body's sensitivity to insulin. Voglibose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor which prevents breakdown of complex sugars into simple sugars such as glucose. This prevents blood glucose from rising very high after meals.

Side Effects:

Common Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level), Nausea, Diarrhoea, Altered taste, Flatulence, Stomach pain, Headache, Skin rash, Upper respiratory tract infection.
