How to use:

Don't chew or crush the tablet; let it dissolve on your tongue.

How it works:
Voglibose, the active ingredient in Prandial 0.2 mg Tablet MD, stops alpha-glucosidases, which are enzymes in the intestines that break down complex carbs into glucose.
This slows down the absorption of glucose after meals, which helps keep blood sugar levels from rising too quickly. It works in the intestines without being absorbed too much by the body, which makes it safer to use for a long time.
