Vogli contain voglibose. It works by inhibiting the enzyme (alpha-glucosidase) that reduces the rate of digestion of complex carbohydrates. Less glucose is absorbed because the carbohydrates are not broken down into glucose molecules. Hence in this way, Vogli reduces blood sugar levels.

Yes, Vogli can cause night sweat, the exact mechanism of sweating is not known. But some research suggests that it causes hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) especially at night which leads to night sweats. You need to monitor your blood glucose level regularly and talk to your doctor as your dose may need to be adjusted.

Vogli itself does not cause alopecia ( hair loss). However, the conditions treated by Vogli, type 2 diabetes and PCOS, often list hair loss as a possible symptom.

Yes, Vogli can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). However, this can also occur if you delay or miss a meal, drink alcohol, exercise more than usual, can't eat due to stomach upset, and taking other antidiabetic medicine with voglibose. So, regular monitoring of blood glucose level is needed and be cautious of symptoms of hypoglycemia. It is best to consult your doctor if you feel any unwanted effects.
