About TENELIGLIPTIN(20MG) + METFORMIN(1000MG)

Introduction

This medicine is a combination of two active ingredients: Teneligliptin (20mg) and Metformin (1000mg). It is used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This combination works through two different mechanisms to provide better control of blood glucose when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient.

Uses

This medicine is prescribed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It is used when blood sugar levels are not adequately controlled by diet, exercise, and single-drug therapy alone. It helps improve glycemic control by working on multiple pathways that regulate blood glucose levels. It is not intended for use in type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

Benefits

The combination provides dual action for better blood sugar control. Teneligliptin helps increase insulin release when blood sugar is high and reduces glucose production. Metformin improves insulin sensitivity and reduces sugar absorption from the intestines. Together, they help lower HbA1c levels and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications. This combination may reduce the need for multiple separate tablets.

Side effects

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach upset, loss of appetite, metallic taste in the mouth, and headache. Some patients may experience hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), especially when combined with other diabetes medicines. Rarely, lactic acidosis (a serious metabolic complication) may occur. Most side effects are mild and temporary, resolving as your body adjusts. Contact your doctor if side effects persist or worsen.

How to use

Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken twice daily with meals to reduce stomach upset and improve absorption. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or break it. Take it at the same times each day for best results. Never adjust the dose on your own. Continue following your diet and exercise plan as advised by your doctor.

How it works

This medicine works through two mechanisms. Teneligliptin belongs to the DPP-4 inhibitor class and works by increasing incretin hormones, which stimulate insulin release when blood sugar is high and decrease glucagon secretion. Metformin belongs to the biguanide class and reduces glucose production in the liver, decreases glucose absorption in the intestines, and improves insulin sensitivity in muscles. Together, they provide comprehensive blood sugar control.

Safety advice

Inform your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver disease, heart problems, or history of lactic acidosis. Avoid alcohol consumption as it increases the risk of lactic acidosis and hypoglycemia. This medicine is generally not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding; consult your doctor. Monitor blood sugar regularly. Inform your doctor before any surgery or contrast imaging procedures, as the medicine may need temporary discontinuation. Carry sugar or glucose tablets to manage low blood sugar episodes. May cause dizziness; be cautious while driving until you know how it affects you.
