Metformin + Teneligliptin

Uses

How Metformin and Teneligliptin work Metformin and Teneligliptin is a combination of two antidiabetic medications: Metformin and Teneligliptin. Metformin is an antidiabetic medication (biguanide) that lowers glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and increases the body's sensitivity to insulin. Teneligliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor that increases the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreases the hormones that raise blood sugar levels. This combination reduces both fasting and post-meal sugar levels, providing better control of blood sugar.

How it Works

Common side effects of Metformin and Teneligliptin include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level), decreased appetite, abdominal bloating, flatulence, and constipation.

Expert Advice

Take it with food to reduce the likelihood of an upset stomach.
The chances of weight gain and low blood sugar are lower compared to other diabetes medications.
Inform your doctor about your diabetes treatment if you are scheduled for surgery under general anaesthesia.
Notify your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms:

Deep or rapid breathing
Persistent nausea
Vomiting
Stomach pain

Metformin + Teneligliptin may cause a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis, which is characterized by an excess of lactic acid in the blood.
