My wife, age 60, has had diabetes for the last 6 years. She is taking the following medications after her angiography in 2008 along with diabetes medicine for the last 3 months: Deplatt 75, Eritel ch-40, Metorol xr 50, Rozavel 10, Razo-d-20, Thyronorm 50+12.5, Gluformin g-1 forte -or Glycomet gp1 forte, Galvus 50, Voglistar 0.2 mg, Lintus 42. She is complaining of swelling in her leg and ankle, as well as joint pain. Her weight is also increasing. Are there any side effects of any of the above medications? She is also suffering from arthritis.

Hi. Please tell me how to take Voglistar GM 2mg tablets? Is it supposed to be taken after breakfast or before? ## Hello, Sachi! How are you? Unless your doctor has instructed you otherwise, it should be taken just before your meal. That way it has time to start working when you are digesting your meal and would be having the most blood sugar fluctuations. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am 57 + having high blood sugar level for the past 18 months. I am regularly taking Voglistar gm1 for the past 16 months. I am a vegetarian. My blood sugar PP ranges between 200 - 360. I am not feeling any type of deficiency. I regularly go for a brisk walk in the morning for about 3 to 4 Kilometers daily. ## While you are a vegetarian, it is also still essential to ask what types of foods you eat? Many fruits and vegetables can contain sugars, which can cause your blood sugar to become high. How much do you eat at each meal? How often do you have a meal? The NIH lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, diarrhea, and hypoglycemia.

I would like to know the generic name of this drug (Volix) and any other information you may have on it. ## The generic name is Voglibose. Its available in 0.2 and 0.3mg strengths. There are only couple of manufacturers of this molecule. These companies manufacture on behalf of other companies and are marketed under different brand names like Vobose (USV), Voglistar (Mankind), Voglimac (Macleods), Volabay (Wallace), etc.. The brand names carry different MRP but the manufacturer is the same! Check it out!
