Nateglinide+metformin Hydrochloride+voglibose is a combination medicine. It contains Neteglinide, Metformin Hydrochloride and Voglibose.

Voglibose inhibits the enzymes in the intestine that break down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars like glucose, slowing glucose absorption. They collaborate to maintain blood glucose levels that are consistent throughout the day.
