Metformin + Teneligliptin

Metformin + Teneligliptin is a combination medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes. Metformin helps lower blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose production in the liver. Teneligliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases insulin secretion and decreases sugar levels after meals. This combination helps in better blood sugar control, reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications. It is usually prescribed when Metformin alone is not enough to manage blood sugar effectively.
