Wobose 0.2mg Tablet

Wobose 0.2mg Tablet contains Voglibose, an anti-diabetic medicine used to manage blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is often prescribed as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, which includes a healthy diet and regular physical activity. Wobose works by slowing the absorption of sugar (glucose) from the intestine, preventing sudden spikes in blood sugar after meals.
