A sulfonylurea medication that helps your pancreas produce more insulin.
A biguanide medication that helps your body use insulin more effectively and reduces glucose production by the liver.
An alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that slows down the breakdown of carbohydrates in your gut, leading to a slower rise in blood sugar levels after meals.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (noninsulin-dependent diabetes) when diet and exercise alone are not enough to control blood sugar levels.
This combination medication works by improving your body's ability to use insulin and by reducing the production of glucose by your liver. Glimepiride stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while metformin enhances insulin sensitivity and reduces hepatic glucose production. Voglibose slows down the absorption of carbohydrates from the digestive tract, further contributing to blood sugar control.
