ozomet pg2 was given by doctor is it good?? or shall i have ozomet vg2?? what is the difference between two ideal TD vitamin tablet any substitute can i have?? Voglibose or Pioglitazone ??? which is less in side effect?? for the age of 48!!

Dr. Sfurti Mann

Internal Medicine

Voglibose and pioglitazone both are medications used for diabetes but there mechanism of action is different and so are their side effects. Voglibose acts to reduce post prandial blood glucose whereas pioglitazone improves insulin sensitivity and improves glycemic control. Voglibose causes gastric side effects and sometimes affects the liver whereas pioglitazone should not be given to patients with heart ailments as it can worsen heart failure.

FAQs

What is Ozomet-VG 2 Tablet PR?

Ozomet-VG 2 Tablet PR is a combination of three medicines: Glimepiride, Metformin and Voglibose. This medicine is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).

Voglibose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor which lowers the postprandial (after meals) glucose levels in the body. This combination is not indicated for the treatment of Type 1 DM.

What are the possible side effects of Ozomet-VG 2 Tablet PR?

The use of Ozomet-VG 2 Tablet PR is associated with common side effects like hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level), nausea, diarrhea, altered taste, flatulence, stomach pain, headache, skin rash and respiratory tract infection.
