PPG Tablets 0.3 mg contain Voglibose, an oral alpha-glucosidase inhibitor used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly to control postprandial (after-meal) blood glucose levels. Voglibose works by slowing down carbohydrate digestion and absorption in the intestine, thereby reducing the rise in blood sugar after meals. It is typically used as an adjunct to diet, exercise, or other antidiabetic medications.

Q1. What is PPG Voglibose used for?
PPG (Voglibose) is used to control postprandial blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Q2. Can I take it if I’m already on insulin or metformin?
Yes. Voglibose is often prescribed in combination with other antidiabetic medications to improve glycemic control.

Q3. Why should I take it before meals?
It works by slowing carbohydrate digestion, so taking it before meals ensures it acts in time to reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes.

Q4. Does Voglibose cause low blood sugar?
Not typically when used alone. However, the risk increases if combined with insulin or sulfonylureas.
