Uses

Dapagliflozin, Teneligliptin, and Metformin are used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

How it Works

How Dapagliflozin, Teneligliptin, and Metformin work Each of the active components of Dapagliflozin, Teneligliptin, and Metformin functions in different ways to help control blood sugar levels. Dapagliflozin lowers blood sugar by prompting the kidneys to eliminate more glucose through urine. Teneligliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor that increases the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreases the hormones that elevate blood sugar levels. Metformin is an antidiabetic medication (biguanide) that reduces glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and enhances the body's sensitivity to insulin.
