Tenebite-M 20/1000 Tablet SR

Introduction

Tenebite-M 20/1000 Tablet SR is a combination medication used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It contains two active ingredients: Teneligliptin and Metformin. Teneligliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that helps lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin production in response to meals, while Metformin works by decreasing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity in the body. This combination helps better manage blood sugar and is often prescribed when diet and exercise are insufficient.

Uses of Tenebite-M 20/1000 Tablet SR

• Helps control blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.
• Used when diet and exercise alone do not provide sufficient blood sugar control.
• Improves glycemic control by combining two different mechanisms of action: DPP-4 inhibition and insulin sensitivity enhancement.
• Can be used in combination with other antidiabetic medications as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for diabetes.

How Tenebite-M 20/1000 Tablet SR Works

Tenebite-M 20/1000 Tablet SR works through its two components: Teneligliptin and Metformin. Teneligliptin inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme, which increases the levels of incretins, leading to enhanced insulin secretion and reduced glucagon secretion, thus controlling blood sugar. Metformin helps by reducing the liver's glucose production and improving the body's response to insulin, leading to better blood glucose control. This dual action helps maintain a steady level of blood sugar in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
