Volga R 0.5mg/0.3mg Tablet

Product Overview
Volga R 0.5mg/0.3mg Tablet combines two active ingredients to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus by controlling elevated blood sugar levels after meals. This medication is prescribed when other treatments and dietary measures have not sufficiently lowered high blood glucose.

You should take Volga R tablets immediately after eating, following your doctor’s instructions regarding the dose. Do not discontinue the medicine without consulting your healthcare provider, as stopping it suddenly can cause a rise in blood sugar, increasing the risk of complications like kidney problems and vision loss. If you miss a dose, do not take it between meals; instead, wait and take the next dose right after your following meal. Avoid doubling up doses to make up for a missed one. This medication is part of a broader diabetes management plan that includes a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and weight control.

Common side effects may include gas, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), and skin rash. These symptoms generally go away on their own but if they continue or worsen, speak with your doctor. Regular blood sugar monitoring is essential during treatment.

Before starting Volga R, inform your doctor about any existing kidney or liver issues, urinary tract infections, or if you are taking diuretics (water pills). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only use this medicine after consulting their doctor. It is advisable to avoid excessive alcohol consumption while on this medication, as it can increase the risk of side effects.

Uses

• Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus

Benefits
Volga R 0.5mg/0.3mg Tablet helps reduce blood sugar by increasing glucose removal through urine and slowing the conversion of food into glucose in the intestines, preventing sharp rises in blood sugar after meals. Effective blood sugar control reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, vision impairment, nerve damage, and limb loss. Additionally, this medication lowers the risk of cardiovascular-related death in patients with type 2 diabetes who have existing heart disease. When used regularly alongside diet and exercise, it supports a healthy lifestyle and long-term well-being.

Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and tend to improve over time. Contact your doctor if any side effects persist or cause concern. Common side effects include:

• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

• Abdominal pain

• Diarrhea

• Flatulence (gas)

• Headache

How to Use
Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole with food; do not chew, crush, or split the tablet.

How It Works
Volga R combines two medications that work together to help regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.
