VOGLISTAR MD 0.2 TABLET 15 contains voglibose (0.2 mg) which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Alpha-glucosidase inhibition: Voglibose inhibits a group of enzymes called alpha-glucosidase in the digestive tract. These enzymes play a vital role in transforming complex carbohydrates into simple sugars.

• Reduction of blood sugar spikes: By slowing down the digestion of carbohydrates and hence their absorption into the bloodstream, voglibose helps manage post-meal spikes in blood sugar levels.

• Competitive reversible inhibition: Voglibose specifically targets enzymes like sucrase, maltase, isomaltase, and glucoamylase present in the brush border area of your small intestine. By competitively and reversibly inhibiting these enzymes, it delays carbohydrate digestion even further.
