Tenlip-M Tablet SR

Tenlip-M Tablet SR is a combination medication used to manage type 2 diabetes and help control blood sugar levels. It contains two active ingredients: teneligliptin and metformin. Teneligliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that helps to increase insulin production, while metformin improves the body's response to insulin. Together, they work to lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
