Tenliptin 20mg Tablet

Tenliptin 20mg Tablet contains Teneligliptin as its active ingredient. Teneligliptin is a selective dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by inhibiting the enzyme DPP-4, which in turn increases the levels of incretin hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). This leads to enhanced insulin secretion and suppression of glucagon release, resulting in improved glycemic control.

Uses:

Tenliptin 20mg Tablet is indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It is used to help control blood sugar levels in patients who have not achieved adequate glycemic control with diet and exercise alone. Tenliptin is typically prescribed as an adjunct to diet and exercise, either as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic medications such as metformin or sulfonylureas.

Dosage:

The dosage of Tenliptin 20mg Tablet may vary depending on individual patient characteristics and the severity of diabetes. It is usually taken orally, with or without food, once daily. The recommended starting dose is 20mg once daily, but the dosage may be adjusted based on the patient’s response to treatment and blood glucose monitoring. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage regimen for optimal glycemic control.

Side Effects:

Common side effects associated with Tenliptin 20mg Tablet may include headache, nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the nose and throat), upper respiratory tract infection, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal pain. These side effects are usually mild and transient. However, individuals should inform their healthcare provider if they experience any persistent or bothersome symptoms. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as allergic reactions or pancreatitis may occur.

Precautions:

Before using Tenliptin 20mg Tablet, individuals should inform their healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or medications they are currently taking. It is important to monitor blood glucose levels regularly while taking Tenliptin and to report any significant changes to a healthcare professional. Tenliptin should be used with caution in patients with a history of pancreatitis or liver disease. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before using this medication.
