When diet, exercise, and single or dual therapy aren't enough to regulate blood sugar levels in Type-2 diabetes, it is utilized.

Q2. Is it possible for it to make blood sugar levels drop?

Yes, mostly because of glimepiride. If you skip meals, your risk goes up.

Q3. When should I take this pill?

Q4. Is it safe to drink alcohol with it?

Stay away from alcohol because it raises the chances of lactic acidosis and low blood sugar.

Voglibose can make you gassy and bloated at first, but this becomes better over time.
